AI seen to improve food security, boost agri employment
The Philippine Star|November 03, 2024
The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture and fisheries is expected to improve the country's food security and even entice the youth to venture in the sector, according to experts.

Various researchers on AI emphasized that the technology would ease various farming practices, resulting in more efficient processes that would lead to higher yield, lesser wastage and better farmers' welfare.

The Department of Agriculture (DA) said that AI is necessary in digitalizing farm practices that would lead to sustainable agricultural production and better welfare for farmers.

"The urgency for digital transformation is underscored by the looming challenges such as food scarcity, economic fluctuations and supply chain disruptions," said Honorio Flameño, the DA's information and communication technology service director, during the first day of the University of the Philippines' two-day conference on AI.

One of the key projects highlighted during the conference was Fish-I that could be used in assessing fish stocks in various water bodies in the country.

ALL OF BLUE

Color is the primary language of painting, the essential spirit of the medium. Minimalist artists have long considered this gospel truth: strip a painting to its core, and what remains is color. Yet, color is far from a mere visual phenomenon; it is a conduit for emotion and psychology, evoking ideas, memories, and profound feelings. Among the spectrum of hues, blue holds a particularly captivating allure—a color steeped in history, rarity, and meaning.
