AI for Rural Innovation and Sustainable Systems
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Artificial Intelligence

Abstract
Rural communities face agriculture, resource, and economic challenges worsened by climate change and poor infrastructure. This paper examines AI's role in rural innovation and sustainable systems, proposing a framework with AI tools like predictive crop yield analytics using IoT-sensed data (soil moisture, temperature), remote sensing (drone pest imagery), and satellite sensor data (NDVI vegetation health) with IoT precision farming and ML supply chain optimization for resilience and productivity. Case studies from India, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia show low-cost AI via mobile apps and edge computing delivering real-time insights, cutting waste 30% and raising incomes. Participatory design and federated learning tackle data scarcity, divides, and ethics. Findings support UN SDGs, urging policy for scalable tech. AI bridges urban-rural gaps for equitable sustainability.
