| Summary: | "Food security is major global concern. Based on forecasts of global population growth, current deficit to feed people around the world, and increased demand for greener fuel & biodiesel, food security will remain an important economic development issue over the next several decades. As food-versus-fuel tension becomes more intense, pitting food against energy production, the day will come when more agricultural products will be used for energy than food. Adding to the conundrum, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the face of the earth in terms of supply chain, resource availability, and human labor and has exposed our vulnerabilities in food security to an even greater extent. In essence, as humanity, we're at a critical juncture and what this unprecedented movement in our lives has thrusted upon us, the practitioners of the agriculture and technologists of the world, is to innovate and become more productive to address the multi-pronged food security challenges. The book teaches agricultural economics and AI software development from startup, industry and academic perspectives with the ultimate goal to empower the reader to create state of art AI applications that can be extremely useful to serve and empower small farmers across the globe and overcome food security"-- |
