Scholars have different views on the nature and pace of capitalist transformation of the Chinese agriculture. In this paper, we have, for the first time, estimated the approximate size of agricultural proletariat in China as well as the prevalence of wage labor in agricultural work. We argue that by comparing with typical capitalist agricultures in the world, China’s agriculture is increasingly capitalist rather than petty producer/populist.

Sustainable and resilient systems within the food industry play a key role in global growth and development. In recent years, negative effects such as drought caused by climate change, destructive natural disasters, and destruction of biodiversity and natural resource erosion, agricultural migration, aging agricultural population, and global epidemics have deepened the environmental concerns. Apart from the negative effects on the food supply, pressure on the demand side is created by the growing population, which makes it necessary to create a new agrarian policy. Technological development has affected agriculture and agricultural production systems. One of the most prominent approaches is the integration of a new generation of digital technologies into the agricultural system, ensuring maximum benefit from information and data. Digitalization and the use of digital data have fundamentally transformed the agro-food system. The aim of this paper is present in a systematic view the agricultural digital transformation in the Agriculture 4.0, in the framework of sustainable development of agriculture. The aforementioned imposes sustainable agriculture by adequate agricultural policy instruments.

Abstract China has traditionally placed tremendous importance on agricultural research. Meanwhile, in recent years, sustainable agriculture has been increasingly highlighted in both policy agenda and the capital market. However, while terms like environmental friendliness, low carbon, organic and green agriculture have become buzzwords in the media, few meaningful discussions have been raised to examine the relationship between science and technology (S&T) development and sustainable agriculture. What's more, some environmentalists stress that sustainable agriculture should abandon modern agriculture's heavy reliance on science and industrialization, making the link between agricultural S&T and sustainable agriculture seem problematic. What is the truth? If S&T are to play an important role in advancing sustainable agriculture, what is the current status of the field? What factors have caused the sustainable development of agriculture in China? At an online forum organized by the National Science Review (NSR), Hepeng Jia, commissioned by NSR executive editor-in-chief Mu-ming Poo, asked four scientists in the field to examine the dynamic relationship between sustainable agriculture and agricultural S&T in the Chinese context.

This article examines sustainable agriculture's core objective: reducing environmental impact while ensuring continuity in food production. It distinguishes agroecology from sustainable agriculture and organic food production. The feasibility of sustainable organic food production in controlled settings is explored, especially for animal farming. The paper underscores agriculture's substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the pressing need for action. It discusses the intricate relationship between agriculture and climate change, emphasizing the challenges in meeting emission reduction targets within the sector. In this article, Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) is explored as a viable method to reduce agricultural emissions. Additionally, EU policies such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), are designed to align agriculture with climate objectives. Integrating agriculture into CBAM presents challenges due to the absence of a carbon pricing mechanism. EU's policies and EU's CBAM in this paper are given just a good decarbonization model that can be implemented worldwide. Balancing environmental preservation, economic stability, and international relations is complex in agriculture, as a significant emitter of GHGs. Innovative strategies like Agricultural Sector Management and Carbon Absorption offer promise in reducing agricultural emissions. This study employs a triangulation approach and contributes significantly to the field of sustainable agriculture. It explores various aspects of sustainable agriculture, tackles challenges related to climate change, and presents decarbonization strategies. These findings have relevance for all who are involved in agriculture and environmental sustainability.

A agricultura itinerante é um tipo de sistema agrícola primitivo, adotado historicamente nos ecossistemas de florestas tropicais, em que o ser humano faz o corte da floresta, queimando os resíduos como preparação da terra para a cultura. A produção de alimentos é feita por 2 a 3 anos e, posteriormente, a área é abandonada, tornando-se improdutiva. Muitas vezes, nos terrenos abandonados estabelece-se a floresta secundária, podendo voltar a ser utilizados para o cultivo cerca de dez a vinte anos depois. Em Timor-Leste, a agricultura itinerante ainda é praticada como forma de agricultura de subsistência. Com este trabalho pretendemos caracterizar a agricultura itinerante em Timor-Leste e relevar a sua importância socioeconômica para as populações rurais do território, identificar os seus impactos na sustentabilidade ambiental dos ecossistemas e referir as soluções para minorar os seus efeitos negativos. A metodologia utilizada baseou-se na recolha de informação bibliográfica relevante sobre o tema e na realização de um inquérito por questionário a agricultores itinerantes do subdistrito de Atabae, distrito de Bobonaro. Este questionário caracterizou a agricultura itinerante e ouviu a opinião dos agricultores sobre os efeitos da mesma. A agricultura itinerante de hoje em Timor-Leste destina-se essencialmente às culturas de horta. Os materiais resultantes do derrube e corte da floresta são usados para lenha, vedações e materiais de construção. Os impactos negativos sobre os bens e serviços produzidos por florestas são sentidos através das mudanças na precipitação, erosão, mudanças climáticas, diminuição do número de animais selvagens, e das plantas e produtos colhidos nas florestas. Itinerant Agriculture in the Bobonaro District in East Timor During the Post-Independence Period ABSTRACT: Itinerant agriculture is a primitive agricultural system historically adopted in the ecosystems of tropical forests in which people make a clearing in the forest and burn the residues to prepare the ground for planting. Food production occurs for 2 to 3 years; the area is then abandoned and becomes non-productive. A secondary forest establishes itself frequently on the abandoned ground and may be used once more for crop planting after ten to twenty years. Itinerant agriculture is still employed in East Timor as subsistence agriculture. Current analysis characterizes the iterant agriculture in East Timor and enhances its social and economic relevance for rural populations, identifies impacts on the environmental sustainability of ecosystems and describes solutions to minimize its negative effects. Methodology is based on the bibliographical information on the theme and on a questionnaire survey to itinerant peasants of the sub-district Atabae in Bobonaro. The questionnaire characterized itinerant agriculture and collected the opinion of peasants on its effects. Current itinerant agriculture in East Timor is restricted to kitchen gardens and the material produced in forest clearings is used as firewood and building material. The negative impacts on goods and services produced by the forests are measured by changes in rainfall, erosion, climate changes, decrease in the number of wild animals and plants and in products collected in the forest. KEYWORDS: Itinerant Agriculture; Forest Ecosystems; Sustainability; East Timor.

The aim of this analysis is to examine the efficacy of sustainable farming in Africa and industrial farming. Sustainable agriculture as an approach to food production that combines agriculture's economic, social and environmental dimensions. The agricultural societies in Asia and Africa have effectively followed these values. The growing evidence and accessible scientific review of the creation of programs suggests that sustainable interventions can be highly successful to enhance productivity, promote protection of soil and water incomes and to ensure food safety; improve agricultural, wildlife and plant health; increase natural disasters and climate change resistance, minimize greenhouse gas emissions and promote societies. This demonstrates that the efficiency of organic farming has a positive influence in different countries on the future of agriculture.

O nível de emprego direto gerado pelas atividades agrícolas depende em grande medida da área cultivada, da composição das culturas e do desempenho da safra agrícola, sobretudo no curto prazo. O estágio tecnológico em que se encontram as culturas também é outra variável que afeta a ocupação agrícola. No caso específico de São Paulo, dado o esgotamento precoce de sua fronteira agrícola, a evolução da ocupação agrícola tem sido influenciada principalmente pelas mudanças da base técnica dos processos produtivos adotados pelos estabelecimentos agrícolas. Entre o início da década de 70 e meados da década atual, a agricultura paulista eliminou quase 700 mil postos de trabalho, o que representou uma redução de quase 40% da ocupação agrícola neste período. Observa-se também uma tendência de declínio da mão-de-obra residente nas propriedades, na medida em que quase 60% dos ocupados na agricultura paulista já residem fora das propriedades rurais em que exercem seu trabalho. Os assalariados temporários, que nos anos 80 tinham uma participação de 22% do total da população ocupada, passam a representar 19% em 2004. Concomitantemente, o novo ciclo de inovação tecnológica em curso na agricultura paulista a partir dos anos 90, apoiada, sobretudo na intensificação da mecanização em todas as fases do processo produtivo, tende a levar a uma preferência crescente por trabalhadores assalariados permanentes. Analisa-se também o comportamento da ocupação agrícola para as diferentes regiões do estado de São Paulo. Os dados sobre a ocupação agrícola para os anos 90 apontam que, apesar de todas as regiões apresentarem uma redução do emprego nesse período, os efeitos combinados de fatores como o grau de tecnificação das culturas, as mudanças dos indicadores desse nível de modernização e alterações nas áreas ou na composição das culturas, incidiram de forma diferenciada sobre as várias regiões do estado Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in production methods that have taken place in agriculture in São Paulo State and their impact both on jobs and the socio-economic conditions of the workers in this sector. The rate of direct employment generated by agricultural activities largely depends on the cultivated area, the crops grown and the abundance of the harvest, especially in the short term. The technological level of the agricultural activities is another factor that affects the numbers employed on the land. In the specific case of São Paulo, given the early exhaustion of the rural frontier, the evolving pattern of agricultural work has been influenced mainly by the changing technical basis of the production methods adopted by agricultural units. From the beginning of the 1970s until the middle of the present decade, agriculture in São Paulo lost nearly 700,000 jobs, representing a nearly 40% reduction in rural employment in the period. There is also a tendency for the resident work force to decline, since nearly 60% of those working on the land in São Paulo already live away from the rural properties where they do their work. The seasonal workers, who represented 22% of the total working population during the 1980s, fell to 19% in 2004. At the same time, the new cycle of technological innovation in progress in the agricultural sector in São Paulo since the 1990s, above all in the intensification of mechanization at all stages of the productive process, tends to favor a growing preference for permanent salaried workers. The profile of agricultural work in the different regions of São Paulo State is also analyzed. The numbers occupied on the land during the 1990s indicate that, while all regions suffered a reduction in the level of employment in that period, the combined effects of factors such as the degree of mechanization of cultivation, changes in the indicators of that level of modernization and alterations in the area under cultivation or type of crops had affected of differentiated form the various regions of the state Tese (dooutorado) - Universida Política Social Doutor em Ciências Econômicas

Resumo:

A agricultura de conservação, conseguindo reduzir as perdas de solo por erosão e aumentando o seu teor em matéria orgânica, permite aos agricultores produzirem mais alimentos com menos trabalho. Oferece-lhes uma possibilidade de melhorar a sua qualidade de vida. Várias abordagens sobre agricultura de conservação do solo, incluindo rotação e consorciação de culturas, são componentes deste sistema aplicável a diferentes níveis. A sementeira direta e o menor distúrbio de solo, são princípios primordiais da conservação do solo, fornecem benefícios direitos para a agricultura e o meio ambiente, questões da maior relevância para a agricultura Angolana, apesar da pouca importância que atualmente lhes é dedicada. Logo, é preciso uma conversão e transição de tecnologias e técnicas para implementar a agricultura de conservação e o controle da erosão dos solos no país. As técnicas de conservação utilizadas pelos pequenos e grandes produtores, embora sejam bem-intencionadas, não oferecem a proteção contra a erosão do solo e a conservação da água. Tanto as entidades políticas, como o Programa de Acão do Ministério da Agricultura e do Desenvolvimento Rural (MINADER) e os agricultores angolanos devem entender a importância da agricultura de conservação para a segurança alimentar e dar continuidade para as gerações futuras. Não basta a reformulação e consolidação dos objetivos traçados no período de 2009 a 2013, sem que haja a aplicação prática. Portanto, para sair do atual conceito oficial de agricultura tradicional/convencional e optar para agricultura capaz de responder às necessidades de Angola é necessário seguir modelos semelhantes aos desenvolvidos por países tropicais de condições naturais semelhantes às de Angola; The role of conservation agriculture in the fight against soil erosion particularly in Angola ABSTRACT: Conservation agriculture, managed to reduce soil losses by erosion and to increase its content of organic matter, allow farmers to produce more food with less work. It offers them a chance to improve their quality of life. Several approaches to soil conservation agriculture, including rotation and intercropping, are components of this system applicable to different levels. Direct sowing and less soil disturbance, are key principles of soil conservation providiy benefits for agriculture and the environment, issues of great importance for the Angolan agriculture, in spite of the little importance that is currently dedicated to them. Therefore, we need a conversion and transition technologies and techniques to implement conservation agriculture and soil erosion control in the country. Conservation techniques used by small and large producers, although well-intentioned, do not offer protection against soil erosion and water conservation. Both political entities, such as the Program of Action of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER) and Angolan farmers should understand the importance of conservation agriculture for food security and continuity for future generations. Not just the redesign and consolidation of the objectives outlined in the period 2009 to 2013, without practical application. Therefore, to exit the current official concept of traditional / conventional farming and opt for agriculture able to meet the needs of Angola is necessary to follow models similar to those developed by tropical countries of natural conditions similar to Angola.

Resumo:

This dissertation studies agricultural input intensification, defined as the increased use of modern inputs such as hybrid seeds, mineral fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide in African agriculture. It also analyses the potential of this intensification to accelerate productivity growth and tests the effectiveness of two policies, input subsidies and land reforms, in promoting it and consequently in increasing crop yield. In the first essay, we argue that to create the conditions for the emergence of a green revolution in Africa, modern agricultural technologies have to be adopted as a package, not in a piecemeal fashion. This argument is consistent with a conceptual framework that we develop to illustrate the importance of harnessing strategic complementarities among agricultural technologies by adopting them simultaneously rather than sequentially. Based on this framework, we propose a methodology to estimate an index to measure agricultural input intensification in its many dimensions. The index provides a simple and intuitive measure to quantify joint adoption of several inputs and compare it across plots, crops, farmers, and regions. Applying this methodology to maize producers in Burkina Faso and Tanzania, we show that our estimated index is a valid measure of joint input adoption and effectively captures the relative importance of each input as well as the number of different inputs adopted. Using the estimated index, we find that simultaneous adoption of modern inputs in Burkina Faso and Tanzania is limited but not rare. Most importantly, we find that the impact of the adoption of individual modern input on yield is increasing with the level of intensification for others. In the subsequent two essays, we assess the effectiveness of government’s direct intervention through input subsidies and indirect intervention through land reforms in promoting agricultural input intensification and increasing productivity. Our empirical analyses focus on Burkina Faso, a country that has recently implemented a fertilizer subsidy program and is undertaking profound land reforms to improve land tenure security and land transferability among households. The second essay tests the hypothesis that subsidizing only one input might promote or discourage the use of other inputs. We find that fertilizer subsidy for maize farmers in Burkina Faso crowds in the use of hybrid seeds and crop protection chemicals, but discourages the use of manure. The last essay assesses whether the development of rural land rental markets can facilitate land transferability among farmers and increase input intensification and productivity. The findings suggest that land rental transfers land from less talented or committed farmers to the more able but have minimal impact on input intensification. However, our results show that land renters are more productive and better farm managers. These results suggest that the short-term gains from policies that foster the development of land rental markets in Burkina Faso, and more generally Africa, will likely be in term of efficiency rather than widespread adoption of modern agricultural technologies.

Abstract This book is about Conservation Agriculture (the use of no tillage systems) to preserve soil structure and integrity. It has become an increasingly important step towards sustainable farming. This publication brings together conservation agriculture and climate smart decision making processes for the first time, focusing on Africa. This book brings to the fore scientific and empirical evidence about Conservation Agriculture in Africa, articulated by the Second Africa Congress on Conservation Agriculture (2ACCA) held in Johannesburg in 2018. It describes how farmers in Africa are successfully adopting Conservation Agriculture as an alternative to the unsustainable conventional farming practices and as a solution to loss of agricultural productivity, soil erosion and land degradation, climate change challenges and ever-increasing food insecurity. This work discusses how Conservation Agriculture can support the implementation of the African Union's Malabo Declaration and Agenda 2063 which calls for climate smart agricultural development. It provides development-oriented case studies and scientific evidence relevant to all stakeholders in the public, private and civil sectors who are engaged in building policy, institutional and human capacity to accelerate the mainstreaming of Conservation Agriculture across Africa.

The term precision agriculture were introduced into scientific literature by Jhon Schueller in the 1991 Meeting of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) in Chicago: “the continuous advantages in automation hardware and software technology have made possible what is variously knows as spatially-variable, or site specific crop production”. The concept of sustainable development was introduced in 1987 in the Bruntland Report and the term “sustainable agriculture” was defined in the 5th European Environmental action programme: Towards sustainability. In Agenda 2000, 5 main objectives founded Common Agricultura Policies toward 2020: competitiveness; food safety and quality; farmers’ wellness and proper income; environmental respect; new jobs opportunities for farmers’ communities

If a few years ago climate change was a new and fanciful concept and not everyone was aware of its entire action range, today we are witnessing increasingly pronounced climate change. At the European Union level are many political initiatives in order to mitigate the climate change so the next generations to have the same changes to a good environment. All the efforts must be put into shifting the development to a more sustainable one. There are different drivers that interfere with the climate. Among energy, transport, industrial processes, waste, land use, we also find agriculture as a driver for climate change. In agriculture the livestock, the utilized agricultural area, the type of farms depending on the input level, the consumption of inorganic fertilizers influences the climate, either through green gas emissions, water and air pollution, desertification etc. So, we could say that there are many aspects of agriculture that influence climate change. In the work, a brief screening of the aspects of agriculture that have a negative impact on the environment at the level of the European Union was carried out.

Despite the increase in the human population, the unmet nutritional needs required rapid advances in agriculture. The use of excessive and unconscious chemicals to increase agricultural output has become harmful to natural life. In response to the destruction of natural life by industrial agricultural practices, ecological farming practices have emerged and gained value in recent years. These activities, which are briefly named as ecological agriculture, are "a method of agricultural production without the use of harmful chemicals, without the destruction of the natural area in the production process".  In this study, the official ministry data was used while the ecological agriculture examination was carried out for Turkey over the years. By analyzing these data, a study was conducted on the data of ecological agricultural areas in Turkey, the number of farmers engaged in ecological agriculture and the number of products obtained from this production process. Lastly, SWOT analysis was made based on ecological agriculture and conventional agriculture research. In the conclusion part of this study, attention was drawn to the necessity of ecological agriculture for humanity to lead a healthy and sustainable future. The first and most important step in realizing this is to inform those working in the agricultural field about ecological agriculture. Agricultural production should be supported with solutions that will facilitate the farmer's hand, such as leasing by state institutions. Irrigation facilities and clean air conditions required for ecological agriculture can be provided by the states.

European Union (EU) agriculture produces food in sufficient quantity and quality, ensuring food security for EU citizens. Financial support mechanisms under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) guarantee affordability for consumers and decent incomes for farmers. In 2019. The European Green Deal (EGD) emphasized the importance of agriculture in climate protection. It set a new direction for change, putting EU farms at the center of sustainable food production. All this meant that existing agricultural practices in the EU allowed for high productivity, but also gave space for sustainable practices. The new financial support mechanisms under the CAP for 2023-2027 have focused on financing agricultural practices that protect the environment. The main purpose of the article is to discuss the future directions of agriculture in EU countries. Based on data on the agricultural sector in Poland, it is shown that an important direction of agricultural development is the digitization of farms and villages, which is a prerequisite for the introduction of precision farming practices. On the one hand, this allows to increase yields and reduce the consumption of natural resources, and in the long run increases productivity in agriculture. On the other hand, it facilitates the implementation of ESG reporting.

In the last 20 years, the extensive integration of digital technologies has led to considerable changes in all industries, including agriculture. As a result, the agricultural sector has undergone a digital transformation. This shift has become increasingly necessary due to the many challenges faced by modern-day agriculture, such as rising temperatures, changing seasons, frequent extreme weather conditions, low availability of water resources, and decreased soil fertility. It is now evident that traditional farming methods are inadequate for achieving efficiency in agriculture, and innovative methods are essential. One such approach is digital agriculture, also known as smart agriculture or e-agriculture. This cutting-edge method utilizes digital technologies to collect, process, analyze, and disseminate information, enabling real-time decision-making in response to changing external factors. Considering given factors, the paper discusses the main directions of the digital economy that could impact agriculture. It evaluates existing examples and models of digital agriculture, while identifying possible ways to apply digital technologies in the agricultural sector. Based on thorough research, the final section of the paper offers practical recommendations that can serve as useful tools for developing countries as they transition towards the digital transformation of agriculture. The research findings make it clear that digital technologies have become a critical component of modern-day agricultural activities. Without their integration, it would be impossible to sustain productive agricultural activities, meet the global demand for food, and respond adequately to changing environmental factors.

Today, the role of women in agriculture is crucial for the development of rural communities and the sustainability of agricultural systems. The fact remains that in many parts of the world, women are often overlooked in the agricultural sector; however, their work in this field has a profound impact on food production, biodiversity preservation, and natural resource management. This paper explores the role of women in agriculture by identifying the key challenges they face and analyzing their contribution to the modern agricultural sector. The goal of this research is to examine the position of women in agriculture, with a focus on the challenges they encounter and the opportunities to enhance women’s participation in agricultural activities. The research was conducted through a survey involving 80 women farmers with varying levels of education, age groups, and work experiences. Analysis of the responses showed that most participants highlighted financial barriers and lack of education as key factors limiting their success in agricultural development.

In the environmental sustainability concept, this paper investigates the relationship between agricultural emission and per capita income. Additional variable is agriculture sector energy consumption. Our data is related to 1990-2010 period for 22 countries which are in the Eurasian region. Firstly, dynamic OLS and full modified OLS are applied to the data. The results show that Environmental Kuznet Curve (EKC) hypothesis is valid for agricultural emission and income. Moreover, there is a co-integration relationship between agricultural emission and both income and agricultural energy consumption. Secondly, dynamic panel GMM and dynamic OLS are applied to little modified data. Results again, imply that EKC is true for agriculture sector. Based on these results, political and intuitional regulations could be developed for environmental sustainability.

Much remains to be done before agricultural trade is as liberal as world trade in manufactures. But agriculture is distorted by more than agricultural policies. In developing countries especially, farming is discouraged not only by farm protection policies in high-income countries but also by those countries' own manufacturing policies and distortions to services markets. This paper explores the extent to which multilateral liberalization of not only farm but also non-farm policies would affect welfare and the markets for farm products. It projects the global economy to 2005, when the Uruguay Round (UR) implementation will be complete, and assesses the potential impact of further cuts from that post-UR base. This is done using a modified version of the GTAP model of global trade, assuming 40% cuts in protection in agriculture, mining and manufacturing, and services. Results suggest agricultural and industrial liberalizations could yield similar-sized benefits for the global economy in 2005. However, the distributions of gains from those cuts are quite different as between rich and poor countries. We also examine the interaction between non-agricultural reforms and agricultural trade balances. For some regions, most notably for China, non-agricultural reforms dominate and reverse the sign of the change in the food trade balance following liberalization of both farm and non-farm trade. This suggests policy makers concerned with food and agriculture need to give attention also to non-agricultural policy reforms.

This paper analyzes the asymmetries and complementarities between Brazil's and China's agricultural sectors. Brazil and China are key players in world agriculture. Both countries are among the world's top five producers and exporters of agricultural products and have a significant portion of their population working in agriculture. However, four significant facts profoundly differentiate Brazilian and Chinese agriculture. First, while Brazil has one of the world's most liberal agricultural sectors, Chinese agriculture remains under strong state intervention, particularly in its foreign trade. Second, while the agricultural sector accounts for a very significant portion of Brazil's total exports, in China its share in total foreign sales is almost negligible. Third, while Brazil is a net exporter of agricultural products, China is now a net importer. Finally, while Brazil is the country with the greatest potential to expand its planted area in the world, China's agriculture has little land available for expansion and is in fact under severe pressure from urbanization and the development of other productive sectors.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly being integrated into people’s lives, reshaping industries, and enabling previously unimagined innovation, even in agriculture. Generative AI focuses on creating content like text and pictures based on vast quantities of data. ExtensionBot is a generative AI platform that supports agricultural extension by providing farmers with accurate scientific information and specific recommendations. It has been shown to deliver more accurate responses to agricultural questions than broader generative AI models. Other forms of AI have been used to analyze data to provide support for management decisions, such as in livestock monitoring, food traceability, genetic studies, and predicting weather and crop yield. Furthermore, AI is particularly adept at image analysis and can identify insects, weeds, and diseases. It has also been used to detect the quality of produce and allow machines to perceive the precise location of fruits for robotic picking. Many successful AI examples exist in agriculture, but numerous challenges prevent rapid development. These include the common incompatibility of agricultural data, the wide variability in agriculture that restricts the broad applicability of AI models, the common lack of connectivity in rural and agricultural areas, concerns about the privacy of agricultural data, the resistance to change in the agricultural industry, the lack of an AI-skilled workforce, and high adoption costs for AI technologies. Furthermore, there is fear about how AI will affect the agricultural community’s ability to maintain human knowledge and skill in agriculture. Cybersecurity is another concern, particularly as autonomous machines begin to emerge, facilitated by AI. If robots perform agricultural tasks, what happens when they are hacked or fail, and a human is not available to solve the immediate problem? Additionally, the advancement of AI in agriculture affects humans in multiple ways. First, it affects the work that agricultural workers perform and how that work is done. Ideally, workers will have input into the design of AI tools to ensure these tools improve their efficiency and safety in daily tasks as well as their overall work experience. Consumers of agricultural products also have a stake in AI for agriculture, as it can improve food safety, nutrition, and health. There are also particular ethical concerns about the advancement of AI in agriculture. For example, the data aggregation of numerous farms can have disadvantages for small and low-income farms. More research is needed to develop AI for agriculture in ways that are mindful of the many challenges. If resources for research on AI in agriculture are unavailable, innovation will be reduced, and collaboration will be hindered in its development. Researchers may end up competing for tightly limited funds rather than sharing knowledge. For the U.S. to lead the world in developing AI for agriculture, it must promote innovation, industry competition, interdisciplinary collaboration, and appropriate standards to ensure big data and AI are used responsibly and contribute to efficient and resilient agriculture and food systems. We recommend that policymakers focus on AI in agriculture to create an enabling environment for its development, to ensure adequate resources are available for research, to facilitate opportunities for workforce development, to enable guidelines leading to its adoption, to foster a regulatory framework that protects agricultural data, to ensure wide-ranging benefits to various scales and income levels of farms, to provide for cybersecurity, and to promote the development of standards to ensure AI systems in agriculture are safe, efficient, reliable, and ethical. AI has immense potential to enable the next step change in agriculture, and initiatives should be formed to position the U.S. as the global leader in agricultural AI, driving economic growth, ensuring food security and food safety, and promoting ethical practices that lead to environmental stewardship.

The Institute of Development Studies has led consortia of UK and African organisations in two large programmes of agricultural policy research: the original Future Agricultures Consortium programme, running from 2005 to 2014, and the successive Agricultural Policy Research in Africa programme, from 2016 to 2022. These programmes involved African field research teams, linked to African Universities, and conducting policy-relevant research into key issues relative to the future of agriculture in Africa and inclusive agricultural commercialisation (APRA). A component of both programmes was to use the evidence collected to influence the policy environment in favour of productive, sustainable, and inclusive agriculture. This paper explores what has been learnt in these two programmes about using field research evidence to improve agricultural policy.
