Can AI Save the Farm? (And the Planet?)

Broken Shovel : Homesteading for a Sustainable Future

In this episode of Broken Shovel, Eric and Lucas dig into the dirt on a hot topic: Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture. From driverless tractors to disease-detecting drones, AI promises a revolution in farming. But is it a boon or a bust for the future of food? We'll break down the potential benefits – increased yields, reduced waste, and even more sustainable practices. But we won't shy away from the potential drawbacks – job displacement, data privacy concerns, and the high cost of entry for small farms. Is AI the helping hand farmers need, or a corporate land grab in disguise? Tune in and join the conversation as Eric and Lucas weigh the costs and benefits of AI in agriculture, and ask the big question: Can robots save the farm – and the planet?
