6 Agriculture today and tomorrow We know that our present life forms are no longer in harmony with the environment and nature. If we are counting on a future that will do justice to us and future generations, we have to change course. Heinrich Bottermann, former Secretary General of the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU), 2016 A willingness to innovate, inventiveness, freedom of research and adequate risk management are essential social prerequisites for sustainable agriculture.

9 Why field robotics? Powerful support of human workers New concepts for farming and human work Working periods for field robots are flexible Careful treatment of (individual) crops Saving resources by hyperprecise processing Reducing environmental impacts (such as chemicals or soil compression) Improving economical benefit by field robot swarms and human remote control Field robotics technologies are supporting tools for a sustainable combination of economical, ecolological and social aspects in agriculture Interdisciplinary cooperation and innovation Green future smart technology: field robotics in crop production vision possible?
