Introduction<\/strong>
This episode is a part of ITU’s webinar series on Digital transformation<\/a>. The episode was co-organized by International Telecommunication Union (ITU)<\/a> together with Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being embraced across sectors to enhance operations. Within the agricultural domain, t\u200bhe potential of these technologies is being further examined as a means to drive digital transformation for ensuring food security, and improving the overall agricultural production processes for boosting yield as well as distribution across the value chain.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

This Webinar explored the concept of food security in the context of digital agriculture and the role of AI and IoT in delivering interventions for the optimization of agricultural production processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>
