Once robotics develops further, it would be interesting to have an organization that uses small mobile farming robots to tend gardens in people's yards and produce fruits and vegetables for personal or local consumption.

This could enable people during certain times of the year to eat food that is local, fresher, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly.

I know a lot of people that have personal gardens but don't grow much since it's too time consuming for them.

Decreasing population density means longer trips to the supermarket to get all the other things that people need. You’d save more carbon by getting rid of back yards, having high density housing, and having people walk to the shops.

Or have the robot gardener walk to the shop for you… what’s a few extra miles to a robot who would just be sitting around anyway?

Until the robots are getting assaulted, molested / raped, and robbed. Or stolen outright and scavenged for parts or scrap.

How does this end well?

What would they pay for these robots?

What would it cost to hire a part-time gardener now?
