Entry #45: Veggie Factory



The first farm completely run by robots is going to begin production soon in Japan. Boasting very high efficiency and little waste, this automated farm is said to be able to produce 30,000 heads of lettuce a day. It is supposed to reduce labor costs by 50%, cut energy use by 30%, and recycle 98% of water needed to grow the crops. This sounds like a pretty cool idea and I think they would be a benefit wherever they are built.
