Artificial Intelligence for Green Agriculture and Sustainable Resource Management: A Comprehensive Overview

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a revolutionary technology disrupting the process of finding solutions for various sustainability challenges. Specifically, AI is having a significant influence on many sectors, especially agriculture, energy, waste management, and biodiversity conservation. This paper offers a comprehensive overview of AI's applications in sustainable resource management, with a special focus on green agriculture as a case study, in which the application of AI greatly enhances the efficiency of resource use, crop yield, and environmental conservation efforts. This overview describes the potential application of AI to address performance concerns (ethical value, energy use, and data quality deficiency), and proposes the future research directions such as the explainable AI, circular economies, and the integration of AI with the Internet of Things (IoT) to guide researchers and policymakers in exploiting AI to enhance sustainability in key domains.
