Lead briefing
Agriculture is the world’s largest industry, employing more than a billion people and producing food worth over $1.3 trillion annually; pastures and croplands occupy about half of Earth’s habitable land while also providing habitat and food sources for numerous species. The World Wide Fund for Nature points out that if agriculture is managed sustainably, it can protect and restore critical habitats, safeguard watersheds, and improve soil health and water quality, whereas unsustainable practices can have severe impacts on people and the environment. As population growth drives a rapid rise in demand for agricultural products, agriculture’s deep connections to the global economy and biodiversity make it one of the most important frontiers in global conservation. From the perspective of agricultural technology, this article discusses precision agriculture, agricultural data, supply chain issues for priority commodities such as beef and soy, and the implications of these trends for production efficiency, farm operating models, and long-term food security.
Based on a global market report covering more than 500 companies, spanning vertical farming, gene editing, agricultural robotics, and alternative proteins, this outlines the directions of agtech investment and industry transformation over the next decade.
A 2025 systematic review shows that precision agriculture can increase yields by 20%-30%, vertical farming can save approximately 95% of land and water, and AI has an accuracy rate of over 90% in agricultural decision-making. Can modern technology ultimately translate into global food security?
The global AI in agriculture market is projected to reach $28.6 billion by 2034, as precision agriculture, smart agriculture, and digital agriculture are reshaping farming practices. This article examines the application prospects, driving factors, and long-term impact of AI in agriculture from an industry perspective.
According to the latest report from Precedence Research, the global smart agriculture market is expected to grow from $29.48 billion in 2026 to $81.49 billion by 2035, at a compound annual growth rate of 11.99%. AI, the Internet of Things, and precision agriculture technologies are reshaping global agricultural production methods.
The global smart agriculture market is expected to grow from $20.05 billion in 2025 to $46.89 billion in 2034, at a compound annual growth rate of 9.9%. This article provides an in-depth analysis of market drivers, industry impacts, and long-term trends.
