AI in agriculture isn’t new anymore. But what actually works for smallholder farmers?
At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, we’re cutting through the hype to look at real evidence, real systems, and real policy choices.

This is where applied, context-aware AI pathways matter. Not as standalone innovations, but as part of agricultural systems designed to work at scale, for the Global Majority.

As conversations around AI scale up across India, particularly on how AI can strengthen public systems and development outcomes – the question of how data-driven insights travel from models to real-world decisions becomes increasingly central.

Athena’s work in #AI and #agriculture focuses on the translation layer, bringing together remote sensing, household insights & market signals to support real decisions on the ground.
The emphasis is on operational readiness: tools that fit workflows, reflect local realities & enable faster action.

Turning agricultural data into decisions is rarely about adding more data.
It’s about making the right data usable, timely, and actionable.

Can access to finance change what’s possible for water and sanitation outcomes?
Across communities in India, evidence shows that when households can invest in safe water and sanitation, the benefits extend well beyond infrastructure.

For those building or supporting AI in agriculture, these questions matter. Because long-term impact depends not just on what technology can do, but on how thoughtfully it is embedded in the systems meant to sustain it.

This perspective has shaped how we approach AI-enabled pathways in agriculture, not as standalone tools, but as part of broader food, data, and governance systems. It’s also why our work often sits between disciplines: policy and practice, data and design, innovation and accountability.
