Agriculture and Automation: Potential Benefits, Difficulties and Economic Impacts

In contemporary agriculture, automation and robotics are the main players. They present viable answers to issues with the world's expanding population, changing demographics, and economic standing. This analysis examines the potential and difficulties of utilizing new technologies as well as the frequently overlooked connection between automation technology and agricultural economics. This study examines the potential of automation and robots in farming techniques, as well as their socio-economic impacts, through a methodical analysis of the literature. It also offers practical advice for those involved. For this reason, a variety of robot types used in diverse agricultural fields have been examined, along with the difficulties and technical viability of adopting automation. Additional significant aspects have been examined, such as changes in the labour market, economic conditions, and demographic trends. This study also looks into the social effects of automation, specifically with regard to worker adaption and employment. It discovers that although automation increases sustainability and efficiency, it also results in labour displacement and necessitates significant technological investment. This in-depth analysis closes a significant gap by evaluating precision agriculture's future, labour market change, and economic viability. Along with outlining a future roadmap for research and policy, it also plots a course for future studies and policy-making at the nexus of agricultural technology and socioeconomic domains.

Abstract

In contemporary agriculture, automation and robotics are the main players. They present viable answers to issues with the world's expanding population, changing demographics, and economic standing. This analysis examines the potential and difficulties of utilizing new technologies as well as the frequently overlooked connection between automation technology and agricultural economics. This study examines the potential of automation and robots in farming techniques, as well as their socio-economic impacts, through a methodical analysis of the literature. It also offers practical advice for those involved. For this reason, a variety of robot types used in diverse agricultural fields have been examined, along with the difficulties and technical viability of adopting automation. Additional significant aspects have been examined, such as changes in the labour market, economic conditions, and demographic trends. This study also looks into the social effects of automation, specifically with regard to worker adaption and employment. It discovers that although automation increases sustainability and efficiency, it also results in labour displacement and necessitates significant technological investment. This in-depth analysis closes a significant gap by evaluating precision agriculture's future, labour market change, and economic viability. Along with outlining a future roadmap for research and policy, it also plots a course for future studies and policy-making at the nexus of agricultural technology and socioeconomic domains.
