To determine the benefits of robotic farming and explore the use of the FarmBot system for urban agriculture, we analyzed the system in terms of sustainability, user-friendliness, and cost. We also determined the product-market fit and economic viability of microgreen-centric agriculture and the feasibility of large-scale organic waste collection for circular-economy reuse in Venice. We concluded that both microgreen-centric agriculture and large-scale organic waste collection are viable. We proposed a method to determine optimal planting procedure in the FarmBot, and do not recommend the use of the FarmBot for microgreen agriculture without modifications.
