What will farming look like in the future? At Kennesaw State University, that future is already taking shape.
In this report, Damon Jones takes you inside the PLOT Innovation Hub — a 25-acre research and teaching facility where cutting-edge technology is transforming agriculture. From robotics and automation to intelligent systems and controlled growing environments, researchers are exploring new ways to make farming more efficient, sustainable, and accessible.
Experts say these innovations could help reduce labor costs, improve productivity, and even make it easier for new farmers to enter the industry with smaller, more manageable operations.
With tools like robotic monitoring systems, predictive yield modeling, and fully autonomous environments, the goal is to give farmers more control and confidence in an industry often impacted by unpredictable conditions.
This is just the beginning of what could be a major shift in how food is grown in the future.
