The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) of the United States Department of Agriculture provides quantitative assessments using remotely sensed data and geospatial techniques.
According to NASS, producers who identified as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin account for 3.3 percent of the country’s 3.4 million producers.
They were younger and more likely to have recently started farming than U.S. producers.
Hispanic-operated farms account for 5.6 percent of U.S. agriculture sales and 3.6 percent of U.S. farmland.
Agriculture is affected by and contributes to climate change, which is one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
Our shifting climate threatens the environment, ecosystems, and societies.
Addressing this complex issue demands innovative approaches. Accurate climate modeling is essential for understanding the impact of climate change and developing effective mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changing tool in this battle, offering substantial potential to combat climate change.
AI-powered algorithms can analyze data on temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric conditions.
These analyses can generate more precise long-term climate projections by identifying patterns and trends within these datasets.
Furthermore, these projections enable researchers to make informed decisions and plan proactive measures.
AI is revolutionizing farming by promoting sustainable practices and ensuring food security.
Machine learning algorithms can analyze soil conditions, weather patterns, and crop data, leading to optimized irrigation, fertilizer application, and pest control.
AI can also assist in crop disease detection and yield prediction, resulting in higher agricultural productivity while reducing resource consumption and minimizing the environmental impact.
