# Research ideas tagged “agriculture”

4 research idea notes tagged “agriculture”.

- [Pricing water in dry years](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/pricing-water-in-dry-years.md) (2026-10-26, seed): Water scarcity, irrigation and groundwater appear on 72 recent papers, with 21 in the last quarter against about 16 expected, but water pricing itself on only 4. Droughts are forcing cities and farm districts to ration water. Would prices ration it better, and who would pay? Tags: economics, agriculture, environment.
- [Precision agriculture and the farmers who adopt it](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/precision-agriculture-adoption.md) (2026-10-23, seed): Precision and smart agriculture, plant disease detection and agricultural technology adoption appear on 148 recent papers, split between AI and economics; 47 of them carry an adoption, farmer, cost or income keyword. AI papers detect disease on leaves; economics papers study adoption of older technologies. Do the new tools reach farms, and do they raise income? Tags: ai, agriculture, development.
- [Index insurance for farmers, a decade of pilots later](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/index-insurance-for-farmers.md) (2026-10-23, seed): Agricultural and index insurance appear on 20 recent papers, split between the finance and economics journals. Weather index insurance was meant to protect smallholders cheaply, but take-up stayed low and basis risk high. With satellite data and mobile payments, is it finally working, and where? Tags: economics, finance, agriculture.
- [Fertilizer prices and the food they grow](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/fertilizer-prices-and-food.md) (2026-10-23, seed): Fertilizer use and prices appear on 30 recent papers, almost all in the economics journals. The 2022 fertilizer price spike after Russia's invasion of Ukraine was one of the largest on record. How much did farmers cut application, what did it do to yields and food prices a year later, and did it speed up the shift to precision farming? Tags: economics, agriculture, food.
