Advancements in Agricultural Technology

The video discusses the use of 5G technology in agriculture, focusing on connected cows and smart farming innovations. It highlights the challenges of feeding a growing global population and the need for increased food production. The UK is leading in smart farming with projects like the hands-free hectare, using autonomous tractors and drones. In South West England, 5G-connected collars monitor cows, enhancing efficiency and milk production. Globally, countries like the Netherlands and Japan are also exploring 5G farming solutions.
