Applications and Considerations for AI-EO for Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa

With the ever-growing urgency of food insecurity and the threat of climate change, there is increasing interest in using artificial intelligence for Earth observations (AI-EO) for agriculture, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This paper provides an overview of the primary research areas within AI-EO for agriculture in SSA. We discuss examples and limitations of current research as well as opportunities for future work. In addition, we identify ten key considerations for future efforts involving AI-EO for agriculture in SSA.
