”A factory in Japan will be the first fully robot-run farm, with a team of automated systems handling every step of the farming process, from watering seeds to harvesting crops. The only part of the process requiring human imput is seeding. “Seed planting will be done by people, but the rest of the process, including harvesting, will be done by industrial robots” said a spokesperson for the company”. 

Sicuramente taglierà i costi del personale della metà e i costi energetici di un terzo. Il futuro del lavoro sarà sempre più automatizzato.
