Tools to replace pesticides? You mean something like robotic cats catching mice? :) I mean, focusing on biodiversity preservation would be probably more impactful.

I dream of robots capable of weeding, replacing herbicides, and selectively pruning/mulching to reduce fertilizer usage.

I dream of learning systems for best practices for multi-crop growing patterns to maximize output and minimize risk while preserving or helping to maintain local ecosystems.

ML for permaculture, basically.

IMO it makes a lot more sense to let nature run its course on a curated system than to force a system to oppose nature's tendencies with complicated additions.
