Farming Today This Week: Future Farming
Innovation in Agriculture: vertical farming, growing grass for human consumption, help from robots with the harvest and with weeding, also the Queen's in-depth knowledge of farming
It’s been a week of innovation on Farming Today, as we look ahead to see what the future holds for agriculture.
The problem farmers face growing food - including a shortage of labour and climate change - can stimulate innovation - from vertical farming to growing grass for human consumption.
And there is a helping hand for the harvest – not from people but from robots - out in the field picking asparagus.
Robots also get digging to remove weeds, and farmer and TV presenter Adam Henson relates a meeting with HRH The Queen, and talks about her knowledge of farming.
