This video explores how robotics and artificial intelligence are transforming agriculture. Technologies already in use include soil sensors, drones, precision-farming machinery, robotic harvesters and systems for tracking livestock and monitoring animal health.
These technologies collect large amounts of field data, which AI can analyse to provide insights and predictions. Robotics can then act on those insights through automation. Together, these tools can improve decision-making, optimise the use of water, fertilisers and pesticides, reduce costs and manual labour, increase productivity and deliver environmental benefits through greater precision and less waste. Reliable connectivity is particularly important: without it, farms cannot fully use real-time data, automation or cloud-based systems, and smaller or remote farms risk being left behind.
The EU CAP Network highlights the need for faster deployment, wider access, training and stronger knowledge exchange between farmers, researchers and advisers. Cooperation with the BCO Network can help ensure that rural areas are connected as agriculture becomes increasingly precise, data-driven and automated. Investment in skills, collaboration and infrastructure will be essential so that all farmers can participate in this transition.
