Artificial intelligence is transforming agriculture at a breakneck pace. From self-driving tractors to drones scouting fields for pests, AI is taking on tasks that once demanded hours of human labor and guesswork.

But amidst this high-tech revolution, there’s a question worth asking: what careers and skills in farming will stay firmly in human hands? What parts of this age-old craft can’t—or shouldn’t—be handed over to algorithms and machines? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
