Artificial intelligence constitutes one of the hottest topics in terms of new technological paradigms today. On the other side, agriculture, forestry, and fishery sectors play a key role for humanity since people's food are produced and needs of various sectors including medicine, textile, furniture and construction are met with the activities in these areas. In this context, it was inevitable that artificial intelligence has been integrated into these areas to enhance the efficiency, effectiveness, optimization, and fertility of agriculture, forestry and fishery activities, similar to previous technological developments such as mechanization and digitalization. Due to participatory, flexible, adaptive, and teachable features of artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence technologies and their applications has been implemented in these sectors for various purposes. In this chapter, the uses of artificial intelligence and the related technologies encompassed by Industry 4.0 paradigm in the field of agriculture, forestry, and fishery will be examined and discussed extensively. © 2024, IGI Global.
