Subsistence mixed crop and livestock farmers
12.4%
ADI · 342nd of 433 · 95% interval 3.9–22.6
An AI agent can at least partly carry out 12.4% of the task time of subsistence mixed crop and livestock farmers, and finish 0.0% alone. The barrier that holds most of the rest back is access to the systems the work runs on.
