Organic gardening is the third "alternative", and it has been proven to work, work well, refined for hundreds of thousands of years, is well known and the risks are known extremely well.
It's not robotics or chemical, that's a false dichotomy.
And yes, I am aware of the "tradeoffs" of organic farming. But it still is a viable business plan, often the farmers' margins (at least in west EU) are much higher than "chemical farming". And no, not always is the yield lower. Nor are the crops it always more expensive. And no, the common conception that "we cannot feed the world with organic farming" is also disproven.
