It’s not genetic. It’s not bad luck. And it’s not a swarm of vicious viruses invading our bodies’ cells.

Farming worker shortages are getting worse. In a survey by the California Farm Bureau Federation last year, 55 percent of the 762 farmers surveyed said they had experienced employee shortages. That’s why researchers are now trying to tackle this problem with robots.
