In Ontario, farmer Jay Willmot presents his vision for sustainable agriculture through his greenhouse, Haven Greens, which relies on artificial intelligence and automation. This facility represents a modern approach to challenges faced by traditional farmers, including high labor costs and harsh winter conditions. The production of lettuce in Canada has increased significantly, indicating a shift towards local and sustainable food sources. While advancements in technology enhance efficiency, experts caution against potential unintended consequences of widespread automation in farming practices.
From sowing and seeding, all the way through to harvest and packing, no one touches this crop. Instead, multimillion-dollar AI and machinery does the work.
Willmot built his business, Haven Greens, to tackle the Canadian winter and a laundry list of obstacles that farmers face from high labour costs.
The AI cuts out a lot of the waste that comes with guesswork. This allows us to maximize the amount of lettuce we can grow.
Some experts urge caution, saying widespread adoption could have unintended consequences, despite the benefits of automation and AI in agriculture.
