The rise of synthetic ecosystems in agriculture: artificial intelligence as the future of urban food systems
Abstract As urbanization increases and climate challenges intensify, the future of food production may lie in AI-driven synthetic ecosystems. This comment explores the potential of creating fully autonomous, closed-loop agricultural systems within urban settings—powered by AI and robotics—to produce...

| description | Abstract As urbanization increases and climate challenges intensify, the future of food production may lie in AI-driven synthetic ecosystems. This comment explores the potential of creating fully autonomous, closed-loop agricultural systems within urban settings—powered by AI and robotics—to produce food with minimal human intervention, addressing food security, sustainability, and labour shortages. |
