LAHORE:
The government of Punjab is working towards incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into the daily lives of farmers as the provincial leadership believes in data and technological revolution. This was stated by Parliamentary Secretary Osama Leghari while speaking at the Pakistan Agricultural Coalition’s Agri Connections Conference and Expo on Thursday.
“I hope that during the remaining two and a half years of our tenure, we will successfully lay the foundation through which our farmers will have access to AI and will be able to forecast their yields and productivity,” said Leghari.
He added “a farmer is someone who buys wholesale, sells retail and pays carriage both ways so, we, as a government, have declared this the Year of the Value Chain”. “We are encouraging our partners”.
