There is nothing more conservative than agriculture. The village is a symbol of the traditional way of life, becoming the center of a new agrarian revolution - robotic.
Unmanned robot tractor harvesting
The large Dutch corporation CNH Industrial has unveiled the concept of a fully autonomous versatile tractor - more precisely, a modification of its popular Case IH Magnum series models that promises to make them unmanned. And if once the use of machine technology allowed peasants to cultivate tens of times more land, now several machines can work under the control of a farmer-operator, making his work even more efficient. According to CNH Industrial, the first field tests of the system took place in the summer of 2016 on a farm in Kentucky, and the following video demonstrates it in action - as noted, everything was filmed "without computer special effects":
Drones graze sheep
In New Zealand, livestock breeders have already adopted unmanned aerial vehicles. A report from the English-language TV channel Al Jazeera tells about the work of sheep herders who use drones to control the movement of sheep flocks: the camera allows you not to lose sight of them, and the siren installed on the drone drives them in the right direction even faster than trained ones. dogs. At the same time, drones provide farmers with topographic support: based on their surveys and using the available free programs, you can build a three-dimensional map of your site in order to choose the best places for grazing, watering and resting.
Robot summer resident
Show your grandmother the new FarmBot Genesis, developed by enthusiasts in California - the system is open source and even she can mount a highly efficient vegetable gardening plant on her 600 sq. Machine vision allows you to recognize sprouts and remove weeds, monitor the condition of the soil and each plant separately, moisturize and fertilize each in accordance with the optimal regime.
Vertical farms - food made from air and water
Aeroponics does not even require the use of soil. Robots and a carefully controlled microenvironment ensure fast and healthy plant growth in moisture saturated with minerals and vapor and under the right lighting conditions. In the future, even on six acres, it will be possible to grow quite industrial quantities of products - as the work of the AeroFarm farm located in San Francisco shows.

Why did ancient people switch to agriculture?
Why did man invent agriculture, the basis of his civilization? Initially, there were no advantages in agriculture, but there were many disadvantages. It is also unclear why the transition was made only ten thousand years ago, although our species has existed for a third of a million years
What robots were used to eliminate the consequences in Chernobyl
The series "Chernobyl" is confidently located at the top of all possible ratings of the best premieres of 2019. Many appreciated the thoroughness with which the creators approached the reconstruction of the tragic circumstances of the accident at the nuclear power plant. Nevertheless, not everything in the series is so smooth, and the audience drew attention to a lot of details that clearly did not correspond to reality
Absolute recoil: robots will eliminate all environmental pollution
Ever since the days of Ancient Greece, the issue of waste was acute. One of the exploits of Hercules - the cleaning of the Augean stables - was already within the power of only a demigod in those days. In Jerusalem, that part of the land where rubbish was dumped and where rubbish was burned was called Gehenna Fiery, which later became the general designation of hell
How the Russian Orthodox Church expands its holdings, taking away parks, museums and houses
2017 without exaggeration can be called the year of expansion of the Russian Orthodox Church: the scale of the territories that became the property of the church amazes the imagination. The beginning of the next wave of expansion of the church's possessions was laid in January 2017, when the authorities of St. Petersburg agreed to transfer St. Isaac's Cathedral into the free use of the Russian Orthodox Church for 49 years. In the first half of 2017, in different regions of Russia, the Orthodox Church announced its claims not only to public territories, but also to private property
A revival of the Cossacks is taking place in Russia
The Cossacks have always been an integral part of the Russian state, in fact, it began to form just in the era of the formation of Russia, under the Tsars Ivan. Later, the Cossacks became a service class, taking shape in a special ethnic group. Over the centuries, the Cossacks have established themselves as free people with their own code of honor, ready to defend the borders of the state with weapons in their hands
