The food that's hardest to grow is the hardest to automate.

Specialty crops are some of the most nourishing — and most labor-intensive — food we grow, and they're still tended almost entirely by hand. That labor is disappearing, and with it the hard-won knowledge of how each field is worked. The machines built for open farmland were never made for this — and they were never built to learn.
