High-tech Harvest: Engineering agriculture's future

What if emerging technologies for agriculture were put into practice?

Researchers are engineering a sustainable balance of crops with more resilience and higher yields. They are exploring computer vision, robotics and intelligent sensor networks to conserve water and energy and remove pests. And they are working to keep soil healthy and water clean.

While farmers are unlikely to replace tractors with hovercrafts anytime soon, a high-tech harvest is in agriculture’s future.
