Smart agriculture to aid Saudi water and food security
The Riyadh Economic Forum, in its twelfth session (October 12-14, 2026), is conducting a study to enhance the use of smart agricultural technologies, including artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and drones, with the aim of achieving water and food security in the Kingdom. The study indicates that adopting these technologies could reduce water consumption by up to 50%, increase productivity by 30%, and improve food quality by 40%, while also reducing costs and waste by approximately 20%. The study recommends preparing reference documents, analyzing international experiences, and developing a national governance model to promote digital transformation in the agricultural sector in support of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030.
