What is the primary challenge facing modern agriculture, as highlighted in the video?

Decreasing labor force in rural areas, an aging farming population, and increasing global food demand.

What is the role of technology in addressing the challenges facing modern agriculture?

Technology is seen as a solution to increase efficiency, reduce labor needs, and maximize resource utilization in farming.

John Deere's autonomous sprayer, which can identify and eliminate weeds without a driver or remote control.

It saves over 60% or 93 million gallons of nitrogen by precisely dosing each seed with the amount of fertilizer it needs.

I can describe how technology is used in modern agricultural mechanics.
