damirUSBiH + 327 DD May 22, 2018 In a field of sugar beet in Switzerland, a solar-powered robot that looks like a table on wheels scans the rows of crops with its camera, identifies weeds and zaps them with jets of blue liquid from its mechanical tentacles. Undergoing final tests before the liquid is replaced with weedkiller, the Swiss robot is one of new breed of AI weeders that investors say could disrupt the $100 billion pesticides and seeds industry by reducing the need for universal herbicides and the genetically modified (GM) crops that tolerate them.

Pavel + 384 PP May 22, 2018 Just as important is land availability-- which we burry under concrete of urban development, and a lesser extent harvesting the same crop from the same land every freaking year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinto + 293 PZ May 22, 2018 I do not know much about this, but the face is already transformed with Monsanto poisons, GMO’s killing people and other beings. Depleted soil missing minerals means food without nutrients and we need 90 of them to be fed properly and to be healthy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
