future of agriculture

problems with agriculture are: 

pesticide inefficiency and pesticide pollution 

access and cost of manual labour 

protecting crop plants from weather 

access to fertilizer and fertilizer pollution 

pesticides could be made redundant through genetic engineering of crop plants and insects 

manual labour could be replaced by automated farm machines 

semitranslucent solar panels could protect crop plants from intense sunshine, heavy rain and strong wind 

fertilizer could be made redundant by genetic engineering of plants 

so that plants absorb nitrogen from the air 

some soil bacteria contain genetic machinery to absorb nitrogen from air 

genetic code from those bacteria would be inserted into crop plants 

so that crop plants would produce their own genetic machinery to absorb nitrogen from air 

then crop plants would not need fertilizer  

air contains about 80 percent nitrogen 

there are lots of bacteria in soil everywhere that absorbs nitrogen from air and that has never been a problem 

which makes that genetic technology harmless 

this could end hunger and poverty everywhere 

and would enable colonization of every planet that has nitrogen in the atmosphere in other star systems
