Agri-SAGE: Simulation-Grounded Multi-Agent LLM for Context-Aware Agricultural Advisory Generation

arXiv:2607. 00454v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agricultural advisory systems face a fundamental tension: static agronomic guidelines offer consistent, evidence-based recommendations, yet remain blind to in-season variability and dynamic uncertainties.

Non-Linear Model-Based Sequential Decision-Making in Agriculture

arXiv:2509. 01924v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Agricultural decision-making faces a dual challenge: sustaining high yields to meet global food security needs while reducing the environmental impacts of input use, including fertilizer losses and other agrochemical applications such as herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.

Monte Carlo-Based Ex-Ante Assessment of the Green Benefits of an AI-Driven Smart Agriculture Platform in Hainan

The paper presents a Monte Carlo-based framework to quantify the green benefits of an AI-driven smart agriculture platform in Hainan. By integrating large-language-model question answering, multimodal pest diagnosis, IoT sensing, satellite remote sensing, and a closed-loop field record system, the study builds a cradle-to-farm-gate carbon accounting model and simulates three crop scenarios (mango, winter vegetable, rice). Results show median reductions of 23.5% in pesticide use, 21.0% in fertilizer, 16.5% in irrigation water, and 21.5% in carbon intensity, with high probabilities for fertilizer and carbon reductions but lower for water savings.

Generating scenarios for extreme events, without extreme data

A new algorithm has been developed that can generate scenarios for extreme events, even when there is no historical data on such events. The algorithm is designed to anticipate unprecedented situations that critical infrastructure and global supply chains are least prepared for. By creating these scenarios, the tool aims to help stakeholders better understand and plan for potential disruptions.

Simulating the Marginal Green Contribution of AI Modules in a Smart-Agriculture Platform: Evidence from Two Monte Carlo Experiments

The paper evaluates the green benefits of individual AI modules within a smart‑agriculture platform through two Monte Carlo simulations. In Experiment 1, AI diagnosis significantly increases the likelihood of reducing pesticide and fertilizer use compared to traditional extension services, with up to a 49 % probability of a 20 % pesticide reduction when accuracy and adoption are high. Experiment 2 shows that adding AI irrigation scheduling to IoT‑based engineering yields a 5 percentage‑point increase in median water savings and a 30.5 % reduction in paddy methane emissions, while farmer adoption remains the key limiting factor for achieving green targets.
