In the world of professional agriculture, a lot of focus has been put on large, incredibly expensive machines that work in huge open fields where just one crop is grown. Whilst this is incredibly efficient and produces very cheap food, it's not good for pretty much everything else! There does exist a substantial backlash against this farming model where small farmers grow 'organic' vegetables on small farms with respect to the environment and indigenous wildlife. Although robots have a bad rep for stealing our jobs, there are some jobs that most people just don't want to do. Not only are these tasks boring, but they can often tip the wage scales over the minimum threshold and make small farms financially unviable.
