Korea Expands AI Agriculture Aid Programs

The Rural Development Administration (RDA) said Thursday it will step up agricultural assistance for developing countries by applying AI, data-driven advisory services and climate-resilient crops. The multilateral Food and Agriculture Cooperation Initiative (FACI) will expand from three to five regional groups by 2028, covering about 100 partner countries and funded by the Korean government. RDA projects AI platforms to raise farm incomes 20% and cut risks 20%.
