Abstract

Abstract: The increasing global demand for food, coupled with the challenges of climate change, resource scarcity, and supply chain inefficiencies, necessitates transformative solutions in agriculture and food security. Traditional AI-driven agricultural systems, while effective, often struggle with processing vast, complex, and interdependent variables such as weather patterns, soil quality, pest outbreaks, and logistics optimization. Quantum AI, which merges the computational power of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, offers unprecedented capabilities in predictive analytics, real-time decision-making, and optimization for sustainable farming. This chapter explores Quantum AI’s applications in precision agriculture, climate-resilient farming, pest and disease prediction, and smart food supply chains, demonstrating how quantum-enhanced models optimize irrigation, enhance crop yield forecasts, and improve food distribution efficiency. Additionally, it highlights the challenges, ethical considerations, and future potential of Quantum AI in ensuring global food security while promoting environmental sustainability. By integrating Quantum AI with IoT, blockchain, and remote sensing technologies, this chapter outlines a strategic roadmap for transforming agriculture into a highly efficient, adaptive, and climate-resilient system, paving the way for a food-secure and ecologically sustainable future. Keywords: Quantum AI, food security, sustainable agriculture, precision farming, climate-resilient farming, quantum computing in agriculture, smart food supply chains, predictive analytics, crop yield optimization, pest and disease prediction, quantum-enhanced logistics, irrigation management, AI-driven agriculture, blockchain for food traceability, sustainable resource management, quantum optimization algorithms

Quantum Computing and Instrumentation for Smart Sustainable Agriculture

Nagamani Prabu Arumugam, M.M. Karthikeyan, Keerthivasan Krishnamoorthy

The innovations of quantum computing, sophisticated tools, and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the future of sustainable farming to present solutions to resource management, precise care, and environment monitoring of crops and animals. This section talks about how the application of quantum computing transforms agricultural data analysis, optimization, and simulation processes. It highlights that the integration of the IoT sensors, quantum-enhanced AI system models, and heterogeneous modeling methods makes it manageable and automates processes in the farms. The second portion of the chapter discusses the application of AI in crop prediction, identification of diseases and pests, examination of livestock DNA, and irrigation systems management. Despite some remaining hardware and integration problems, quantum–classical and multi-disciplinary science cooperation/collaboration will most likely lead to greater scalability, efficiency, and sustainability in agriculture. Adopting the most recent technologies in the agricultural production industry can increase production, reduce damage to the environment, and guarantee the availability of food as the global demands evolve.

A Sustainable Quantum-Hybrid Platform for Crop Yield Prediction and Farm Resource Optimization

Sucharita V, Venkateswara Rao P, Srinivasa Rao D

Changes in Weather decrease in soil fertility, limited water resources and growing populations all are making agriculture harder. Even though precision agriculture uses traditional machine learning techniques, the majority of these approaches are unable to effectively handle the extremely complex and multidimensional data coming from crop genetics, weather systems, soil sensors, and satellite surveillance. In this regard, the current research presents a framework for intelligent agriculture that is based on quantum machine learning and quantum optimization. The system can represent and analyze the agricultural data far more efficiently than traditional computer methods by taking advantage of quantum phenomena like superposition and entanglement. Improved crop yield prediction and intelligent resource management via quantum-inspired optimization, particularly QAOA, are the two main objectives of the work. The model achieves accuracy values for yield estimates between 70 and 90%, according to simulation results, and it allows for real-time modification of fertilizer and irrigation. Lastly, it provides farmers with an easy-to-use dashboard to visualize insights. The current study provides a conceptual and technical foundation for quantum computing applications in agriculture in the near future, for more resource-efficient, data-driven, and sustainable farming, even though current quantum hardware is still in the development stage.
