This award supports a participation of U.S. researchers in a multilateral conference organized by researchers in the U.S., Australia, India, and Japan (Quad) on the theme of Advancing Innovation to Empower Next Generation AGriculturE (AI-ENGAGE). The workshop aims to help scope the AI-ENGAGE theme with a focus on opportunities for joint research in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, sensing and/or communications with applications to agriculture, particularly applications that can positively impact resilience and yields. The workshop will also build a community of researchers from Quad countries collaborating at the intersection of emerging technologies and agriculture.As the global population is projected to swell to 9.7 billion by 2050, the challenges of ensuring adequate food production and sustainability of land and water resources are becoming increasingly complex and pressing. This burgeoning demographic trend poses a substantial strain on our agricultural systems, requiring a paradigm shift in how we approach food production and resource management. Historical precedents underscore the effectiveness of innovative, science-driven solutions in empowering farmers and transforming food production systems. However, the contemporary landscape presents challenges exacerbated by climate change, escalating pest pressures, and supply chain dynamics. These challenges are not confined within national borders but are deeply interconnected across regions, necessitating a collaborative, multi-national approach. The workshop is expected to consider topics such as artificial intelligence, automation, risk forecasting and management, robotics, sensing and/or and communications with applications to agriculture. By forming research networks that span Quad countries, teams can prototype and test approaches across geographies, share data, and leverage each other’s technical expertise for the common good. The workshop is an opportunity to catalyze those Quad research networks.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持美国研究人员参加由美国，澳大利亚，印度和日本（Quad）组织的多边会议，以推进创新以增强下一代农业（AI-Engage）的主题。该研讨会旨在帮助范围范围内的A-Engage主题，重点关注新兴技术的联合研究机会，例如人工智能，机器人技术，感应和/或与应用程序进行交流，特别是可以对弹性和收益产生积极影响的应用程序。该研讨会还将建立一个来自四边形国家的研究人员社区，在新兴技术和改革的交集中合作。由于全球人口预计到2050年将膨胀到97亿，因此确保充足的食品生产和土地和水资源可持续性的挑战变得越来越复杂，而且变得越来越复杂。这种新兴的人口趋势对我们的农业系统造成了重大压力，需要改变粮食生产和资源管理的方式。创新的，以科学驱动的解决方案在赋予农民权力和改造粮食生产系统方面的有效性下的历史先例。但是，当代景观提出的挑战会因气候变化，害虫压力和供应链动态而加剧。这些挑战不局限于国家边界内，而是在各个地区彼此之间的互连，这是协作，跨国方法所必需的。预计该研讨会将考虑人工智能，自动化，风险预测和管理，机器人技术，敏感性和/或与应用程序的沟通等主题。通过形成跨越四核国家的研究网络，团队可以在地理位置进行原型和测试方法，共享数据，并利用彼此的技术专长来实现共同利益。该研讨会是一个催化这些Quad研究网络的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估，被认为是珍贵的支持。
