Farming is HUGELY automated, its not automation that is the problem, it is people outside of farming thinking they can improve processes without FIRST understanding what they are doing.

For example, vertical farming aims replace the SUN with LED lights. The "garden bot" aims to replace rain and watching the weather with a watering robot. These are not the things plants "want".
