In the future, integrated AI changes the reality of this district by reinventing the agricultural supply chain. Produce has a short shelf life鈥攁 problem which both affect small producers and food deserts. Through smart supply systems, surplus can be turned around quickly鈥攃onnecting extra produce with needy communities, and connecting smaller farmers with 聽additional funding sources. With provenance tracking, farmers can able to validate that their produce is directed towards under-served areas and thus participate in incentive programs that reward them for their contributions to the ecosystem. In addition, AI-based monitoring supports the running of small urban farms that make it easier to expand the suppliers to the local agricultural ecosystem.
