短文
An innovator and designer recently presented a proposal to revolutionize urban farming. Their assumption was that modern society's proneness to increasingly rely on the cellphone has created distance from agricultural realities. To counter this, they developed a smart irrigation system that can capture carbon data and breed healthier crops efficiently. The system can sort various sorts of vegetables and automatically pick the optimal growth patterns. Currently, many farms fairly distribute water without intelligence, risking system collapse. The technology can follow environmental changes to reach its destination of sustainability. Perhaps most importantly, it will prohibit water waste. From behind a digital counter, farmers manage their fields with precision.
翻译： 一位创新者兼设计者最近提出了一项革新城市农业的提议。他们的假定是，现代社会越来越多地依赖手机的倾向已经造成了与农业现实的脱节。为了对抗这一趋势，他们开发了一套智能灌溉系统，能够捕获****碳数据并高效饲养更健康的作物。该系统可以整理不同种类的蔬菜并自动挑选最优生长模式。目前，许多农场公平地分配水资源却缺乏智能化，面临着系统崩溃的风险。这项技术能够跟随环境变化，达到可持续发展的目的地。可能最重要的是，它将禁止水资源浪费。从数字柜台后，农民们可以精确地管理他们的田地。
