SDG 2: Zero Hunger

• The farm.bot robot can help to increase agricultural productivity by automating tasks such as planting, weeding, and harvesting. This can help to ensure that there is enough food to feed the growing global population.

• The farm.bot robot can also help to reduce food loss and waste by monitoring crops and livestock and identifying early signs of disease or spoilage.

Targets

• SDG 2.3: Double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, particularly women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers, including through secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and non-farm employment.

• SDG 2.4: By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and enhance production capacity, and adapt to a changing climate, extreme weather, other shocks and stresses, while also progressively improving land and water management and resource efficiency.

• SDG 2.A: Increase investment in rural infrastructure, agricultural research and extension services, technology development and plant and livestock breeding to enhance productive capacity in agriculture and food systems.

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being

• The farm.bot robot can help to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals and pesticides by automating tasks that would otherwise be done by hand.

• The farm.bot robot can also help to improve worker safety by reducing the risk of accidents.

• The farm.bot robot can also help to improve the quality of food by monitoring crops and livestock and identifying early signs of disease or contamination.

Targets

• SDG 3.9: By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination.

SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

• The farm.bot robot can help to reduce water consumption by using precision irrigation techniques.

• The farm.bot robot can also help to reduce pollution by using environmentally friendly techniques such as organic farming.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

• The farm.bot robot can help to create new jobs in the agricultural sector.

• The farm.bot robot can also help to improve the livelihoods of farmers by increasing their productivity and reducing their costs.

• The farm.bot robot can also help to improve food security by making it possible to produce more food with less labour.

Targets

• SDG 8.2: Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high-value and labor-intensive sectors.

• SDG 12.3: Halve the per capita global food waste by 2030.

• SDG 12.4: Manage sustainably and efficiently natural resources and use them in a way that does not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

• The farm.bot robot can help to reduce food waste by automating tasks such as harvesting and processing.

• The farm.bot robot can also help to reduce the use of resources such as water and energy by using precision agriculture techniques.

• The farm.bot robot can also help to reduce pollution by using environmentally friendly techniques such as organic farming.

Targets

• SDG 12.5: Substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse

In addition to the above, the farm.bot robot can also help to achieve other SDGs, such as SDG 13: Climate Action, SDG 15: Life on Land, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

Targets

• SDG 15.3: By 2030, halt the degradation of ecosystems and bring it under control and prevent further loss of biodiversity.

• SDG 17.7: Encourage and promote effective public, public-private and civil society partnerships, building on the experience and resourcing strategies of partnerships.
