When will we see widespread use of AgRob in the field?
Can we feed 9 billion people this way?
Productivity in the agricultural sector
The increase in productivity is in part
achieved through large machinery
•  Productivity per hour has increased
•  Productivity per area has decreased
Industrial agriculture:
•  70% of the area
•  30% of the food
Small-scale agriculture:
•  30% of the area
•  70% of the food
How can we increase production another 70%?

TECHNOLOGY
Increase in productivity can be achieved through
new technology
