Threats to global food security have been widely publicised, including population growth, ageing farming populations, meat consumption trends, climate-change effects on abiotic and biotic stresses, and the environmental impacts of agriculture. Furthermore, with increasing pest, disease, and weed tolerance, traditional crop genetic and protective chemistry technologies of the 'Green Revolution' are under increasing strain. To alleviate the burden of these challenges, efforts have been made to automate and robotize aspects of the farming process. This drive has typically focused on higher-value sectors, such as horticulture and viticulture, which have historically relied on seasonal manual labour to maintain produce supply.
