This series will explore the job of a GMO/GMC farmer in the future and how humankind will fit in to a future world order dominated with the technologies we created. We explore how "human activity" will be taken over thereby rendering the jobs of today and obsolete relic of the past beyond a century in our distant future.

Years and centuries into the future, we will be experiencing great and revolutionary change to the way we live, how society works and how humankind as a whole will see themselves. Our world has been shaped by different periods of technological growth and progress from the Neolithic Revolution to the Industrial Revolution. Exponential growth in population and rapid advancement in manufacturing, production and consumption coupled with the rise of automation, artificial intelligence and robotics will transformed human society fully-integrated with our own mechanical wonders.

Looking forward 50 years from now, population growth will be sky high that all the major cities in the world will bursting out of its seams and food production will reach at a critical level that we will soon be run out of farming regions and even the most productive fields can no longer fulfill the growing demands for food. Cloning and genetic engineering technologies will allow us to farm food from scratch.


We change how our crops will look like so that a genetically-modified banana will be 25% more nutritious than its counterparts 100 years ago or a peanut will be like the size of an apple. All the selective processes will make it possible to plant Earth crops on Mars or perhaps bring Alien plants and animals back on Earth in order to produce food for us.

Hydroponics will make it possible to plant fruits and vegetables in a sea of liquid nutrients and artificial sunlights. Aerial drones will monitor crop yields, zero in on unproductive areas and provide enough coverage without the need for additional manpower. Let the robots pick up all the fruits grown, examine the health of cows and pigs and process everything in-house.


By then, the only time we touch our food is when we put it on our mouth. GMO/GMC farmers will no longer be using their plow or tractors, all they need is their tablet computers to check on the yield and production levels.

Do you want to become a GMO/GMC farmer in the year 2045?
