I don´t really see the point here moving plants around one by one? Hope that there is anything more to it.

Outsourcing poses short-medium term social-economic challenges for America and other high-income countries. The complete automation of industries will revolutionize the entire humanity.

"same amount of land, same amount of water"
Not likely. More likely less land as topsoil is eroded and polluted, and less water as climate change creates droughts. -
these things are going to put me out of a job

The Donald loves this robots !

Solving the food problems in the next 30/40 years with robots? What a complete fool. This will do nothing more than replacing real people with robots, and wont solve a single thing related to food issue's around the world. Because of people like him we have problems like this in the first place.. Not focusing on the real problems at hand.. Just out to make money and sell crap.

And if these thing stop working with a virus or are hacked like uavs have been, then who makes the food, who feeds us, does society break down? Yes.

it only moves pots from one point to another point - this absolutely save the word.
-
This reporter was condescending with the name and with the uninspiring example of moving pots around. Harvest Automation should've been able to salvage their reputation in this clip by being able to explain the potential of their technology.
