The paper "Automation’s Impact on Agriculture: Opportunities, Challenges, and Economic Effects" by Khadijeh Bazargani and Taher Deemyad explores the role of automation and robotics in modern agriculture. It evaluates the challenges and opportunities presented by these technologies, focusing on their socio-economic impacts and economic feasibility. The authors conduct a systematic literature review to analyze the potential of automation in farming practices, including precision farming and the use of various types of robots in different agricultural fields. They discuss the technical feasibility, labor market effects, and economic considerations, highlighting both the benefits and challenges of automation. The study finds that while automation can boost productivity and sustainability, it also leads to labor displacement and requires significant technological investment. The paper provides strategic recommendations for stakeholders and outlines a future roadmap for further research and policy-making in the intersection of agricultural technology and socio-economic fields. Key themes include the technical feasibility of automation, socioeconomic impacts, economic impact analysis, and ecological considerations. The authors also discuss the evolution of agriculture through different industrial revolutions and the potential of emerging technologies like flying microrobots and digital twins. They emphasize the importance of a clear digital strategy and robust human capital for the successful adoption of automation in agriculture. The economic analysis section highlights the potential value of automation in increasing crop yields, reducing resource wastage, and boosting global GDP. The paper concludes with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of automation in agriculture, noting the growing market for automation and robotics systems and the potential for cost savings and enhanced efficiency.The paper "Automation’s Impact on Agriculture: Opportunities, Challenges, and Economic Effects" by Khadijeh Bazargani and Taher Deemyad explores the role of automation and robotics in modern agriculture.
