The global agriculture faces labor shortages, and according to Global Data, it is spurring the rise of robotics.
Robotics are projected to increase from $63 billion to $218 billion by 2030. Whether through drones or strawberry-picking robots, automation is reshaping farming techniques and complementing human labor rather than supplanting it.
An associate at Global Data comments traditional ag companies, like John Deere and Cargill, as well as ag startups, are all hiring and innovating in robotics.
