More automation, if there is capacity left for more things to be automated.

BEHOLD THE FUTURE! Food produced from bacteria fed almost directly with electricity! Solein.

Protein derived from bacteria fed with solar power derived electricity! It's more efficient than photosynthesis. Finland's interested in it because it allows them to grow food in the dead of the cold Finnish winter, such technology also works in the cold of space too! You can even use other sources of electricity too, like wind, hydro, geothermal or nuclear power. We shall enter a new era of purely processed foods!

>Lab grown meat
>Aeroponics
>Vertical farming
>3D printed vegetables, fruit, and meat
>automated, with some human labor if people want to farm by choice

To be honest, you can't tell. We already have the technology to do some crazy shit but either research lacks funding or people don't want to do it because it's too new and nobody is doing it or people find the new technology taboo.

how is 3D printing food useful, I mean its cool but what developments could make it truly beneficial?

there'll still be cows on fields

The Amazon Rainforest is a giant manmade garden. This is the true future of agriculture: making ecosystems with symbiotic relationships that basically sustains itself without "human intervention".

>how will agriculture change as technology improves and the population grows /sci/?

Farming is becoming robotized.

>>10845655
By using less space. Multi-story farming for example. Top level is plants(direct sunlight), third level is fish(indirect sunlight), second level is insects and bottom level is mushrooms (no sunlight required). Can be done right now, no new technology required.

I don't know, I'm sure people will find good uses for it.
>Convenient/emergency food on submarines or ISS, other extreme locations
>able to add nutrients and/or vitamins to your print material

Beats me, but usually technology finds something to be applied to.

It won't
Technology will only improve for a short time
Population will only increase for a short time
Then Barbarism and the loss of all valuable culture, regardless of which ethnic culture group is your favourite
Then starvation as the agricultural industrial complex dies

Those are some fine looking t-bones.

Meat grown in labs.
Drones spraying seeds.
Sensors monitoring crops.
The Monsanto cancer got eradicated.
Gene editing for increased harvest etc.
Robots doing transport and maintenance.
Apps helping humans in organizing agriculture.

Unless we get fusion working or go all in on fission to power desalination plants there won't be enough freshwater left to irrigate crops because we've been draining aquifers faster than they can replenish for decades already and demand just keeps increasing.
