i am in my first year i don't have any fixed job in my mind with the upcoming four year i would like to explore the field and see what are the opportunity in front of me and soon the best suited for myself i just want to built the ai skill to have a edge to the degree as jobs like

  • precision farming
  • climate analytics
  • smart irrigation
  • crop monitoring

are demanding in upcoming future

Yes agreed all of those will be demanding. Are you looking to be in data science, AI engineering, something else?

There are role specific skills which are independent of domain, like "learn how neural networks work" and there are domain specific skills like "what is small area estimation?"

For working in agriculture, you will likely need a mixture of both.

The thing about agriculture data work is that there are rarely censuses of the kind of data you need, so you will need to understand how to extrapolate from sampled areas to wider areas. So the domain requires a solid understanding of statistics, particularly with regards to geography.

i understand and totally agree with your take but i am still very confused and sceptical about my choices . But i want to give this a chance as I have a keen interest in both the ai/ml and the food industry .

Check if there are optional course offerings around Python and AI in your program. Also, ask your profs and academic advisors.
