Next-Gen Agricultural Engineering: Integrating Smart Technologies and Carbon Solutions for Sustainable Food Systems
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The worldwide agricultural sector intends to expand food production by 60% by 2050 while lowering its 24% contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. Recent advances in agricultural engineering have solved this issue. Post-harvest technology, such as AI-powered sorting and blockchain cold chains, can save food loss by up to 40%. Precision agricultural systems utilize drone photography and edge AI to reduce pesticide use by 68.7% while preserving yields. Sustainable water management techniques increase efficiency by 43.2%. Agricultural robotics automates labour-intensive operations, while renewable energy integration enables energy-positive agriculture. Climate adaptation efforts rely on CRISPR-engineered crops and predictive analytics. Regenerative techniques can sequester 2-5 tons of CO₂ per hectare annually.
