The agriculture industry is on the verge of a digital revolution that will transform various farming practices, from land preparation to harvesting and pest control. This revolution includes the use of advanced machinery like driverless tractors and harvesters, as well as automated systems for milking and feeding livestock. The ongoing technological advancements and integration of automation have the potential to profoundly affect both the economic and social aspects of rural communities. This includes the creation of new jobs and the displacement of traditional production roles. While automation and robotics hold promise in addressing sustainability challenges, their impact on the agricultural workforce remains uncertain. The interaction between humans and robots in agriculture gives rise to concerns about occupational safety and health that require attention for the well-being of the workforce.
