Best bet is to let mechanization, automation, improved methods, computerization and robotics continue the effort to come up with farming without people.

We came out of the paleolithic into the neolithic with almost no one farming. Human beings simply aren't made for it.

I live in NW Washington where we have a lot of apple orchards and berry farms.

Despite the berry growers having some really cool looking berry picking machines they still need a lot of manual (in this area that means Manuel) labor.
