Rapid #population growth, urban sprawl, and land grabbing have created unprecedented pressures on #land and #water resources in West #Africa. Moreover, land laws, often rooted in the colonial era, have generally failed to protect customary tenure and land use.

Competition for #smallholders is only going to get worse: "Vegebot is the first robot that can identify and harvest iceberg lettuce — bringing hope to farmers that one of the most demanding crops for human pickers could finally be automated. " osc.is/2LkO0rH
With the progression Brazil is making in industrialized, mechanized #coffee farming, robotic coffee pickers are an inevitability. That means that farming operations that have technical and business savvy will easily outproduce small holders and price them out of the game.
This is already happening and the industry is recognizing it. Some of the proposed solutions (such as subsidizing production), in my opinion only address symptoms but not the underlying problem: coffee farming is quickly becoming a more technologically advanced business.
