| description | The purpose of agriculture is to support humankind. There are currently 7.7 billion people on the planet and this figure will increase to nine billion by 2050. As the population grows, even greater amounts of food will be needed, creating a significant challenge for farmers. Emerging digital technologies such as hyper-automation have the potential to revolutionize conventional agricultural methods. This study assessed the current use of hyper-automation systems in agriculture and examined whether new uses of this technology could benefit agricultural industries. One example could be to use an automated variable-seed control system, which has reported seeding accuracy of 98 %, indicating a cost-effective solution. Overall, our analysis revealed that to sustain future agricultural production and ensure food security, countries throughout the world need to focus on hyper-automation in the agriculture sector. |
