Description

Smart farming and robotic solutions are transforming agriculture by offering more sustainable practices. In a demonstration in Greece, part of the EU-funded Robs4Crops project, autonomous robotic technologies for weeding and spraying were introduced to farmers, advisors, and students. A survey collected their feedback, revealing that 100% of participants approved of the new technologies, and 96% reported a positive shift in their perception of robotic agriculture's benefits. These findings highlight the importance of demonstrations in enhancing understanding and accelerating the adoption of smart farming technologies, leading to a more efficient and sustainable agricultural future.
