One area that can be improved by startups without the need for enormous entitlement spending is food. I don&#x27;t mean the radical notion of liquid food or pill popping (though that day might arrive sooner than later) or even manufactured food. I&#x27;m talking about employing simple robotics to reduce the cost of farm labor. Tasks such as cutting the paddy crop. All these years, plants have been engineered to suit the machines and that has reduced farming costs. However, these machines are expensive and work only on very large farms. If we engineer machines to suit the plants growth, we can achieve a dramatic cut in costs as these machines or robots won&#x27;t need scale. By scale, I mean you won&#x27;t need a 100 acre farm to use one. Even a small farmer can rent a robot to maintain his 2 acre farm and produce food at a very low cost. Couple this with the dramatic reduction in transport which will be brought about by electric and self driving trucks - we are looking at food that will cost next to nothing in the next 20-30 years.
