How U.S. Federal Artificial Intelligence (AI) policy is shaping agrifood systems: an integrative review.
Article in Frontiers in artificial intelligence, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly shaping how agrifood systems function in the United States, yet the role of federal policy in guiding its use, oversight, and broader consequences is still not well defined. This study explores how current U.S. federal AI policies support-or limit-the advancement of agrifood systems by synthesizing evidence from publicly available policy documents. Using a focused search strategy and qualitative content analysis, we reviewed nine federal policy documents released through September 2025 to identify key priorities and overlooked areas relevant to agriculture. Our analysis revealed six recurring themes: environment, precision agriculture, workforce development, governance, technological infrastructure, and partnership. The findings show that federal AI policy places considerable emphasis on building infrastructure, strengthening workforce capacity, and establishing governance frameworks. At the same time, less attention is given to environmental trade-offs, equitable access for small- and mid-scale producers, and the place specific conditions that shape agricultural practice. Notably, tensions emerge between policies that promote rapid expansion of AI infrastructure and those aimed at protecting environmental resources and strengthening climate resilience. Taken together, the results suggest that although agriculture is increasingly recognized within the national AI agenda, the lack of a coordinated, agriculture specific policy framework may lead to uneven adoption and unintended outcomes across the agrifood system. This study offers a synthesized policy foundation to support future research, inform decision making, and engage stakeholders in aligning AI innovation with more sustainable and equitable agrifood systems.
