The future of farming is here, and it’s being shaped by robotics. With global food demand projected to increase by 70% by 2050, technology is stepping in to ensure agriculture can meet the challenge. Robots are no longer just a vision of the future—they’re working alongside farmers today, transforming how we grow and harvest food. As Andrew Bate, Founder and CEO of SwarmFarm Robotics, explains, advanced machines equipped with AI and sensors are doing more than reducing labor costs—they’re enabling precision farming at an unprecedented scale. From automating planting and harvesting to monitoring crops with pinpoint accuracy, robotics is helping farmers minimize pesticide use, improve yields, and tackle pressing challenges like labor shortages and sustainability.
