Emerging Agriculture Technologies

Engineering

Vertical farming

Similar to glasshouse but less space as it is multiple layers

Closed ecological systems

Do not rely on anything outside of the system, transform waste products into oxygen, food and water

Automation

Agricultural robots

'Agbots', used to automate agricultural processes like harvesting, planting etc.

Precision agriculture

Uses satellite imagery and advanced sensors to manage farm

Foods

Genetically designed food

New strains of food to better address needs

In-vitro meat

Cultured meat or 'tubesteak' is a flesh product that has never been apart of a living animal

Sensors

Crop sensors

HR crop sensors adjust amounts of fertilization according to the crop

Air and soil sensors

Real time understanding of current conditions

Livestock biometrics

Collars with GPS, automatically identify livestock and relay information about them
