Although agriculture is a very traditional field, with the advancement of science and technology, people gradually abandon traditional planter machine and corn thresher. They are eager to develop more technical agricultural machinery, and modern agriculture is in a technological revolution.
Robot technology is rapidly driving the agricultural revolution
室内农业的盈利能力不断增强,由于劳动力成本沉重,机器人技术正在迅速推动农业革命。最初,大公司愿意利用科学技术来让他们的工作变得更轻松。基于GPS的收割机和机器人辅助挤奶机等创新技术无疑提高了工作效率。然而,这些机器仍然需要手动操作。
Advantages of agricultural robots
Compared with the traditional planter machine, agricultural robots can increase production and fill the labor gap. They can replace people to complete boring and repetitive tasks independently and can make farmers pay more attention to management. In short, robotics is of great benefit to producers and consumers in the modern agricultural field. Some of the most significant benefits are:
- 降低生产成本。
- 促进生产者和消费者之间的信息共享,
- 完善供应链,
4..减少食物浪费并提高产量
- 增强财务可持续性。
Indoor farms will continue to expand
农业不再局限于户外农场。如今,全球室内农场占地 230 万平方英尺,并且这个数字仍在增长。总部位于纽约布鲁克林的 Agrilyst 预计未来室内农业面积将扩大到 2200 万平方英尺,约合 505 英亩土地。虽然这只是美国目前9亿英亩可耕地的一小部分,但室内农场还有更大的潜力。
First of all, indoor farms take up less space and require fewer human resources. The data shows that the output of farms that grow tomatoes and green leafy vegetables indoors is more than 10 times that of outdoor farms. Thus, the need for nursery seeding machine is growing year by year.
尽管都市农业减少了食品运输对环境的影响,但这些类型的作业目前消耗大量电力。更重要的是,他们只对高价值作物有利可图。机器人效率的提高和对当地食品的持续需求可能会推动其普及。
