The global population is projected to reach 9 billion by 2050, posing a significant challenge to agriculture in terms of feeding this growing population sustainably. Developing agricultural robotics is seen as a potential solution to address this challenge. Advances in Agri-Food Robotics: Utilizing Agricultural Robots to Address Labour Shortages and Enhance Farming Operations reviews the utilisation of agricultural robots to address labour shortages in agriculture while bringing greater precision and efficiency to farming operations. The book addresses recent advances in agricultural robotic technologies and how these can be optimised to monitor and manage crop production more effectively, from phenotyping for improved varieties to harvesting the finished product. In its comprehensive exploration of the technologies available, the book provides farmers with the means necessary to invest in agricultural robotics to improve the productivity and profitability of their farm.
