My personal interest is to see independent small scale robotics enable efficient harvesting of densely inter-planted spaces which will facilitate higher aggregate output while supporting greater biodiversity at all levels (soil, fungi, insect, bird, plant) without the artificial fertilizer and pesticide inputs. Sort of The One-Straw Revolution plus robots. No idea how feasible it is, at a guess it is unlikely to compete with the scale of existing systems up front in terms of yield per acre but probably can on fiscal returns vs. cash invested in marginal or non-flat terrain.
