Abstract

There is a notable increase in images and data available from remote sensing satellites, whether large traditional satellites or constellations of small ones. The use of drones to survey smaller, more focused areas has also increased. The Internet of Things (IoT) adds a new dimension, demonstrated by the ability to collect a large amounts of data from sensors of various types in one location for classification and analysis. Thus, the real challenge becomes the ability to analyze this huge amount of data and benefit from it to solve critical problems for humanity,, aggravated by climate change and the scarcity of water resources,, which is what AI can provide. Although agriculture, and the associated livestock production , are among the basic pillars of achieving food security,,it is one of the areas most affected by climate change. Therefore, it has become necessary to exploit modern technologies in the service of agriculture. This paper reviews the applications of artificial intelligence in the field of smart and precision agriculture, and the preservation and development of livestock, and reviews examples of practical applications of this technology and the experiences of Arab and foreign countries. The research concludes by pointing out the difficulties facing this promising field and how to overcome them.
