Abstract
Due to the rapid increase in world population, the demand for food has increased dramatically. Climate change, labour shortage, and aging problems cause insufficient food supply. Agricultural technologies and farming systems need to be improved to meet the increased demand. Tillage systems are essential for food production and significantly affect crop production. A significant amount of the energy (from fuels) used in crop production is also expended in tillage systems. This energy use increases greenhouse gas emissions. The energy used in tillage systems must be reduced, and the efficiency of tillage tools must be improved to achieve sustainable farming practices. This can help farmers manage their farms better, reach high productivity, save resources, and achieve high-quality food production value. Therefore, designing new tillage systems or optimising existing systems is essential.
