RE: In Near Future Robots Will Help Farmers to Pick Fruits and Vegetables
But wouldn't that mean more people out of employment, especially if implemented in developing economies where a majority are dependant on agriculture, yes it will reduce losses along the agricultural supply chain but on the other hand increase unemployment, to some extent it's good, to another not so good
Automation may have effects on employment but consider the benefits, production of higher quality produce, more yield, efficient farm management, weeding, and consequently food security and better nutrition. One of the major problems of agriculture in developing nations is that subsistence agriculture is still largely practiced and there is little mechanization. I really think that automation would be highly beneficial.
