The groundbreaking AgriLLM Project was officially unveiled at COP29, showcasing how artificial intelligence can play a pivotal role in addressing one of humanity’s most urgent challenges: global food security. This innovative initiative leverages cutting-edge AI technology to empower over 500 million smallholder farmers with actionable insights to enhance productivity, resilience, and sustainability.
AgriLLM is a collaboration between leading global organizations, including the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), The World Bank, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), CGIAR, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Together, these organizations aim to harness AI’s potential to drive meaningful change in agriculture, enabling a more secure and sustainable food system worldwide.
At the heart of this initiative is a commitment to responsible AI. AI71, in collaboration with TII and the research teams behind Falcon LLM, is pioneering AI solutions that are both ethical and impactful. AgriLLM focuses on using these advancements to deliver real-world benefits for communities and the planet.
“AgriLLM demonstrates the incredible potential of AI to benefit various communities worldwide. By combining the expertise of global organizations with advanced AI research, we aim to equip smallholder farmers with tools to adapt and thrive,” said Mehdi Ghissassi, Chief Product Officer at AI71.
As the world faces mounting challenges in agriculture due to climate change and population growth, AgriLLM provides a powerful example of how AI for Good can deliver tangible solutions to global problems. By connecting research, technology, and practical applications, this initiative sets a new benchmark for collaboration in AI and sustainability.
