Re:An Airbnb for farmland hits a snag, as farmers raise data... by pas on Sunday May 17, 2020 @06:23AM (#23210998)
A bit off-topic, but I'm very interested in gaining an insight into what do you think what kind of innovation we need, and why?

It’s a good question! I’ll be honest - I’m a robotics engineer not a farmer. I’ve found that weeding is a good place to start according to the farmers I’ve spoken to. But the real innovations needed should come from a large group of users. That’s why I’m doing my best to ensure we can open source our machine. I’m inspired by the way open source 3D printers crowd sourced much of the innovation that got us where we are today (along with many dedicated companies which made their own improvements).
