Food and nutrition are a steadfast essential to all living organisms. With specific reference to humans, the sufficient and efficient supply of food is a challenge as the world population continues to grow. Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be identified as a plausible technology in this 5th industrial revolution in bringing us closer to achieving zero hunger by 2030—Goal 2 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG). This goal cannot be achieved unless the digital divide among developed and underdeveloped countries is addressed. Nevertheless, developing and underdeveloped regions fall behind in economic resources; however, they harbor untapped potential to effectively address the impending demands posed by the soaring world population. Therefore, this study explores the in-depth potential of AI in the agriculture sector for developing and under-developed countries. Similarly, it aims to emphasize the proven efficiency and spin-off applications of AI in the advancement of agriculture. Currently, AI is being utilized in various spheres of agriculture, including but not limited to crop surveillance, irrigation management, disease identification, fertilization practices, task automation, image manipulation, data processing, yield forecasting, supply chain optimization, implementation of decision support system (DSS), weed control, and the enhancement of resource utilization. Whereas AI supports food safety and security by ensuring higher crop yields that are acquired by harnessing the potential of multi-temporal remote sensing (RS) techniques to accurately discern diverse crop phenotypes, monitor land cover dynamics, assess variations in soil organic matter, predict soil moisture levels, conduct plant biomass modeling, and enable comprehensive crop monitoring. The present study identifies various challenges, including financial, infrastructure, experts, data availability, customization, regulatory framework, cultural norms and attitudes, access to market, and interdisciplinary collaboration, in the adoption of AI for developing nations with their subsequent remedies. The identification of challenges and opportunities in the implementation of AI could ignite further research and actions in these regions; thereby supporting sustainable development.

Extensive research suggested that the core of how to use pesticides scientifically is the careful and accurate determination of the severity of crop diseases. The existing grading standards of plant leaf diseases have been excessively singular. Thus, the diseases roughly fall into general and severe grades. To address the above problems, this study considered the effect of the distribution of disease spots, and two evaluation indicators (termed the imbalance degree and main vein distance) were newly added to optimize the grading criteria of apple leaf diseases. Combined with other factors, the grade evaluation indicator was determined through PCA principal component analysis. A gradual multivariate logistic regression algorithm was proposed to evaluate apple leaf disease grade and an optimized apple leaf disease grade evaluation model was built through PCA-logistic regression analysis. In addition, three common apple leaf diseases with a total of 4500 pictures (i.e., black rot, scab, and rust) were selected from several open-source datasets as the subjects of this paper. The object detection algorithm was then used to verify the effectiveness of the new model. As indicated by the results, it can be seen from the loss curve that the loss rate reaches a stable range of around 70 at the epoch. Compared with Faster R-CNN, the average accuracy of Mask R-CNN for the type and grade recognition of apple leaf disease was optimized by 4.91%, and the average recall rate was increased by 5.19%. The average accuracy of the optimized apple leaf disease grade evaluation model was 90.12%, marking an overall increase of 20.48%. Thus, the effectiveness of the new model was confirmed.

Medical Imaging with Deep Learning has recently become the most prominent topic in the scientific world. Significant results have been obtained in the classification of medical images using deep learning methods, and there has been an increase in studies on malignant types. The main reason for choosing breast cancer is that breast cancer is one of the critical malignant types that increase the death rate in women. In this study, 1236 ultrasound images were collected from Elazig Fethi Sekin City Hospital, and three different ResNet CNN architectures were used for feature extraction. Data were trained with an SVM classifier. In addition, the three ResNet architectures were combined, and novel fused ResNet architecture was used in this study. In addition, these features were used with three different feature selection techniques, MR‐MR, NCA, and Relieff. These results are 89.3% obtained from ALL‐ResNet architecture and the feature selected with NCA in normal and lesion classification. Normal, malignant, and benign classification best accuracy is 84.9% with ALL‐ResNet NCA. Experimental studies show that MR‐MR, NCA, and Relieff feature selection algorithms reduce features and give more results that are successful. This indicates that the proposed method is more successful than classical deep learning methods.

As a result of climate change and global warming, plant diseases and pests are drawing attention because they are dispersing more quickly than ever before. The tomato leaf miner destroys the growth structure of the tomato, resulting in 80 to 100 percent tomato loss. Despite extensive efforts to prevent its spread, the tomato leaf miner can be found on most continents. To protect tomatoes from the tomato leaf miner, inspections must be performed on a regular basis throughout the tomato life cycle. To find a better deep neural network (DNN) approach for detecting tomato leaf miner, we investigated two DNN models for classification and segmentation. The same RGB images of tomato leaves captured from real-world agricultural sites were used to train the two DNN models. Precision, recall, and F1-score were used to compare the performance of two DNN models. In terms of diagnosing the tomato leaf miner, the DNN model for segmentation outperformed the DNN model for classification, with higher precision, recall, and F1-score values. Furthermore, there were no false negative cases in the prediction of the DNN model for segmentation, indicating that it is adequate for detecting plant diseases and pests.

In order to improve the problems of poor accuracy and low efficiency in tobacco leaves disease recognition and diagnosis and avoid the misjudgment in tobacco disease recognition, a disease recognition and spot segmentation method based on the improved ORB algorithm was proposed. The improved FAST14-24 algorithm was used to preliminarily extract corners. It overcame the deficiency of the sensitivity of the traditional ORB corner detection algorithm to image edges. During the experiment, 28 parameters were obtained through the extraction of color features, morphological features, texture, and other features of tobacco disease spots. Through the experimental comparisons, it was found that the fitness of the improved ORB algorithm was 96.68 and the cross-checking rate was 93.21%. The validation and recognition rate for samples was 96%. The identification rate of tobacco brown spot disease and frog eye disease was 92%, and the identification rate of 6 categories in different periods was over 96%. The experimental results verified the effects of the disease identification fully.
