This week in agriculture technology, AI robots and smart farming tools are making headlines. In France, the World FIRA 2025 event showed off new machines like self-driving tractors and robots that can pull weeds from fields. But many farmers say these tools are still too expensive or hard to use on real farms.

Researchers in Illinois, USA, shared a report saying AI can help grow more food while protecting the environment. They found that sensors and robots help farmers use less water and chemicals while growing healthier crops. Small farms worry these tools might only work for big companies, leaving family farms behind.

Companies are also creating AI apps that act as farming advisors. These apps can tell farmers the best time to plant seeds or how to stop pests without harming crops. Experts hope these innovations will help feed more people as the world’s population keeps growing.
