Conclusion
The most important sector that needs more focus is agriculture as without it all other activities would be adversely affected . It is imperative that AR4.0 be developed appropriately by swiftly integrating IR4.0 technology to facilitate agricultural endeavours and help realise two of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations , namely , the eradication of hunger and poverty . Agricultural productivity can be increased and worker scarcity can be addressed by utilising advanced robotic and other AI-enabled smart systems to carry out tasks such as planting , crop monitoring , pesticide applicating , harvesting and grading . It would then be simple to scale up and introduce these developed technologies to the general public , improving the reputation of agriculture as a “ dirty , tough , and hazardous ” field . This way more young people may be encouraged to pursue careers in it . Food security will be preserved for the world ’ s rapidly expanding population as a result .
