Food security facts

→ 11.3% of the world’s population is hungry
→ 820 million people did not have enough food to eat in 2018
whereas 811 million in the previous year
→ 1 in 9 people around the world go hungry each day
→ 22% is kids
→ “By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in
particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations,
including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all
year round.” (FAO, 2018).
What causes world hunger (food insecurity) ?
• Climate Change - Food Shortages - Food Waste
• Population - Poverty – Economy

How the climate change affects the agriculture ?

Animals Feed crops Labor force and capital

Variability in - Shortages in drinking and servicing water - Decreased yields - Altered human health
rainfall - Diseases - Decreased forage quality and resources allocation
. Increased pathogens, parasites and - Changes in pasture composition to livestock
vectors (species, communities) - Decreased productivity
. Changed distribution and transmission . Changes in production system (e.g. from - Migrations
. New diseases mixed crop-livestock to rangelands) - Conflicts
Temperature - Heat stress - Decreased yields
. Decreased feed intake and livestock - Decreased forage quality
yields - Change in pasture composition
. Decreased conception rates
. Altered metabolism and increased
mortality
- Diseases
. distribution and transmission through
pathogens, parasites and vectors
. Decreased resistance of livestock
. New diseases
- Domestic biodiversity losses
CO2 in the - Partial stomata closure and reduced
atmosphere transpiration
- Change in pasture composition

CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION

FOR FOOD SECURITY THROUGH
TECHNOLOGY
“Farmers must find greater integration of ICT into their production processes so
that their farming knowledge can be exploited to better effect, production will
boost as well.” – Prof. H. T. Kim (In ERIA book, 2019)

To ensuring Food security

⪢ To ensure the food security, a farming
management concept based on observing,
measuring and responding to inter and intra-
field variability in crops is needed.

 In the early 2010s, Smart Farming was boosted by the advancement of new
technologies such as cheap and improved sensors, actuators and micro-
processors, high bandwidth cellular communication, cloud-based ICT
systems, and big data analytics.

 Farming is heavily determined by natural and biological factors

 Raising of Big data and cloud storage

 Optimization of food security from climate change practice included wih

“Non Food” (I.e., alternative to traditional conventional energy
consumption method like Renewable energy sources, Reducing the fuel
for transport) as well as “food-production” strategies (i.e., disseminating
affordable sustainable agriculture technologies).

Artificial Intelligence—A
Game Changer

17
 SMART FARM SYSTEMS LAB (SFSL)

The word “AI” becomes popular now

• Machine learning

• Artificial intelligence has been around since the late 1950s, but today, AI’s
capacities are rapidly improving thanks to several factors: the vast amounts of
data being collected by sensors, satellites and the Internet

• The development of more powerful and faster computers; the availability of

open source software and data; and the increase in abundant, cheap storage

• AI can now quickly discern patterns that humans cannot, make predictions
more efficiently and recommend better policies

• 83,000 processors 40 minutes

• Neural networks; Deep learning; Machine vision

• Not only for agriculture – Also used in Marine, Forest, Materials, Natural
18 resources

Application of AI in smart farming

1) Sense - A group of sensors collect the data and

upload it to cloud

2) Analyze – The data analyzed and presented to the

farmer through the algorithm filled mobile or
computer application

3) Predict – Collected data is used by the prediction

model to predict idle growth condition resources
required and disease

4) Act – Activating the actuators to full fill the plant or

 Adoption Percentage of smart agriculture
methodology world wide

• The highest adoption was soil sampling (98%) and computer w/

internet (94%). Yes, you need computer with internet to use latest
digital technologies in agriculture.
• Yield monitors and maps, and GPS guidance systems had more than
80% adoption rates.
• Variable rate technology was also very common at a 68% adoption
rate.
• Satellite and aerial imagery are on the way to be widely adopted by
