abstract
The study aims to evaluate and propose solutions for agriculture human resources in the 4IR. Human resource quality is the most essential aspect of a country's socioeconomic development. Under the 4IR, agricultural human resources have access to science and technology to produce, harvest, preserve, transport, process, and consume agricultural goods. Automation, artificial intelligence, and hyper-connectivity in agriculture have improved its labor productivity and added value and created many new skilled jobs. Applying the new technologies in agriculture makes it easier for producers, managers, and consumers to keep an eye on the whole production process, guaranteeing safe, transparent, and highly connected production that complies with contemporary consumption patterns. However, it also creates challenges such as a surplus of unskilled workers, and a scarcity of high-quality human resources. Human resources need to be effectively trained to ensure quantity and quality to improve their ability to apply science and technology in agricultural production.
