AI-integrated models for assessing agricultural resilience

AI agents in supply chains face a fundamental epistemic gap: large language models (LLMs) interpret policies but lack physical grounding, while reinforcement learning (RL) optimizes flows but is semantically blind to unstructured constraints. We introduce REFLECTICHAIN, bridging this gap through a Generative Supply Chain World Model (SC-WM) - encoding heterogeneous supply networks into a 6-dim graph-latent space with physical conservation - and Double-Loop Learning that separates epistemic uncertainty (KL-trust-region-bounded policy adaptation) from aleatoric uncertainty (stochastic latent rollouts). On Semi-Sim, a 10-node semiconductor benchmark with SIR risk propagation, 6 perturbation types, and 10 policy constraint templates, REFLECTICHAIN improves Rationale Consistency Score by 33.0% (p < 0.0001, d = 2.78), maintains 82.3% operability under adversarial shocks, and exhibits anti-fragile behavior (+40.2% gain under moderate pressure). We identify three operational epistemic mechanisms - uncertainty separation, knowledge-boundary detection, and empirical Bayesian policy updating - and discuss five limitation categories.

Climate volatility, regional production concentration, labor constraints, cyber risk, and dependence on long-distance fresh-produce supply chains expose vulnerabilities in U.S. fresh-produce and specialty-crop systems. Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) can reduce some exposure by moving selected production into protected, sensor-rich environments, but recent failures in venture-backed vertical farming show that CEA cannot be treated as a universal food-security solution. This paper proposes the Controlled Environment Agriculture Resilience Infrastructure Framework, Version 2.0 (CEA-RIF 2.0), for evaluating AI-driven CEA as targeted regional fresh-produce continuity infrastructure. The framework assesses seven dimensions: supply continuity, climate isolation, energy and grid integration, water and nutrient circularity, cyber-physical reliability, economic viability, and governance and deployment. Drawing on U.S. government reports, peer-reviewed CEA and energy literature, demand-response research, cybersecurity standards, international smart-agriculture programs, 2025-2026 financing and policy signals, and public autonomous-greenhouse datasets, the paper argues that AI creates resilience value only when it improves measured operational outcomes such as climate stability, energy flexibility, yield consistency, anomaly detection, labor productivity, and safe recovery from faults. The analysis reframes AI-driven CEA as a cyber-physical infrastructure problem: energy-aware, grid-interactive, secure, interoperable, regionally distributed, financially disciplined, and connected to public resilience goals. The paper concludes with a research agenda for interagency testbeds, open datasets, standardized metrics, demand-response pilots, and cyber-physical reference architectures.

Modern crop advisory systems exhibit a critical limitation termed \textit{economic blindness}. These systems primarily optimize for biological yield, often overlooking market price, which can lead farmers toward agronomically sound yet financially unviable decisions. In this paper, we develop Kisan AI, a smart profit-aware crop advisory system that resolves the above-mentioned limitation through a research-driven, full-stack application. We train the Random Forest(RF) classifier model on a nine-feature benchmark dataset, the standard seven agronomic attributes augmented with a \textit{market_price} variable, and evaluated against eight baseline models, considering the evaluation matrices, such as, accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and Log Loss. The RF model achieves the highest accuracy of 99.3% and the lowest Log Loss, confirming that the inclusion of market price as a predictive feature is both valid and impactful. We then implement the RF model within a multilingual progressive Web App alongside a Facebook Prophet six-month price forecasting engine and a MobileNetV2 disease detection module. A nine-language AI chatbot powered by the Anthropic Claude API unifies all modules into a single, mobile-installable platform accessible to farmers across India.
