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.

arXiv:2607. 23880v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Nitrous oxide (N$_2$O) is the dominant ozone-depleting substance emitted in the 21st century, and the third largest contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gases due to its high potency and long atmospheric lifetime, with more than 70% of N$_2$O emissions occurring as a result of agricultural processes.

The paper presents a hybrid edge‑cloud digital twin for welfare‑constrained environmental control in poultry farms. It combines distributed sensing, on‑device state estimation, a physics‑based thermodynamic model with a learned residual, and model predictive control to adaptively manage temperature and ammonia levels. Experiments in a broiler testbed show significant improvements: temperature prediction error drops from 1.8 °C to 0.4 °C, ammonia violations fall by 90 %, and communication needs are reduced 30‑fold, with a Domain Transfer Score of 0.92 indicating strong cross‑facility robustness.
