Historically agricultural
Innovations in Agriculture for more than 150 Years
Old farmsteads, grazing cows and chugging tractors – these are the images that spring to many people’s minds when it comes to agriculture. But even in the past, this rural idyll was no reflection of reality. 150 years ago, agriculture essentially meant tough physical work. Today, modern, high-performance agricultural technology is indispensable in the efforts to feed a steadily growing world population. Since its foundation in 1871, technology company Continental has helped shape the development of agriculture with numerous innovations in rubber, plastic, sensor technology and electronics – from hoof buffers for horses through to autonomous field robots.
