    Looks cool and probably really useful, but I don’t know how much sustainable future relies on Monocultures, because of loose of biodiversity, soil etc you know the drill.

      I agree with the other commenter. This is step one. One day will be robots that can maintain healthy food forests.

      for food forests, you just need to add a tool-switching machine similar to how some CNC mills can automatically switch tools.
