The conference highlights the growing role of artificial intelligence in crop production livestock management and agricultural supply chains. Speakers will explain how data analysis machine learning and automation help farmers make better decisions reduce waste and improve efficiency. These tools support soil health animal care and resource management while protecting the environment.
Participants will also learn how AI supports long term planning and risk management. Topics include weather prediction yield forecasting disease detection and input optimization. These technologies help farmers respond to challenges such as climate change market pressure and rising production costs.
Another important part of the event is collaboration. The conference encourages open discussion between universities private companies policymakers and producers. By sharing research results and real world experiences participants can learn from each other and build partnerships that move agriculture forward.
The event is designed for a wide audience including students researchers growers ag professionals and technology developers. Sessions will include presentations panel discussions and networking opportunities. These activities help attendees understand both the science behind AI and its practical use on farms and in agribusiness.
The location at NC State University reflects the institution’s leadership in agricultural research education and innovation. The university continues to support new ideas that connect technology with farming needs.
AI in Agriculture 2026 offers an opportunity to explore how modern tools can support food production economic growth and sustainability. By bringing people together the conference helps shape a future where agriculture remains strong efficient and environmentally responsible.
