ITU and Agriculture & Food Systems: A Single-Axiom View of Crops, Livestock, GMO/CRISPR, Precision Agriculture, Climate, Water, Food Security, and AI Agriculture — Pass-1 Extension Paper #11, Block D 3/5

We apply the Information-Theoretic Unification (ITU) framework (Terada 2026, concept DOI 10. 5281/zenodo. 20109209; Tier 0 v3. 0 at 10. 5281/zenodo. 20200156) toagriculture and food systems. Tier 1 paper #41, eleventh paper of Pass-1extension, Block D 3/5 = 60% (after #39 Manufacturing + #40 Transportation). Introduces Kₐgri across 8 sub-states (crops, livestock, GMO, precision, climate, water, food, AI). ITU axiom delta S = delta verified to machineprecision (relₑrr = 0) in 11 contexts. 41-vertex ITU polytope. Theoretical position: Agriculture = K-state biological-anthropogenicenergy/matter conversion. Food security = production x distributionefficiency. AI agriculture = K-state optimization across space-time-biology.
