This research paper explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping agriculture by enhancing smart farming practices, optimizing resource use, and supporting data-driven market decisions. AI tools, including remote sensing, drones, and predictive analytics, improve crop planning, reduce operational risks, and strengthen climate resilience. The technology holds significant potential to boost rural livelihoods and economic outcomes, but adoption remains constrained by affordability, digital infrastructure, and farmer training. The study emphasizes the importance of inclusive, scalable, and policy-supported AI interventions to ensure equitable benefits for smallholders and to drive sustainable agricultural growth globally.
