Abstract
The global coffee industry faces numerous environmental conservation and sustainability challenges, such as land management, irrigation, deforestation, biodiversity preservation, and waste management. This chapter explores the role of AI in sustainable land, precision farming, smart irrigation systems, harvesting, and post-harvest processing of coffee beans. The ability of AI algorithms to process large amounts of textual and multimedia data to identify patterns can contribute to addressing the sustainability challenges in coffee farming. This chapter discusses the application of various AI algorithms and techniques—including computer vision, data analytics, supervised learning, artificial neural networks, and deep learning—in advancing sustainable coffee farming. The chapter also explores the role of AI in repurposing coffee waste into biofuels. By aligning with the global sustainable development goals, AI-driven coffee farming presents exciting opportunities for the environmentally responsible future of the coffee industry.Keywords
