Jᴀᴘᴀɴ’s agriculture has embraced smart farming for products like tea, wine, and rice in order to revitalize the local area and increase its global reach. Jᴀᴘᴀɴ has made significant investments in robotics and automation technologies and is a global leader in the use of technology in agriculture as a result of its increasingly aging and shrinking population.
Jᴀᴘᴀɴ’s agriculture industry is experiencing a serious labor shortage as a result of the aging and declining farming population of the nation. Since 2015, there have been 22.4 percent fewer farmers in the nation, but during the same time, the average age of farmers increased by 0.8 years to 67.8 years. Future predictions indicate that these tendencies will deteriorate, making “smart farming,” which makes use of robotics and other labor-saving technologies, even more crucial for the sustainability of the sector.
Experts in other parts of the world are considering high-tech solutions to address the disastrous effects of climate change on agriculture, such as drought and the ʟᴏss of arable land due to desertification, as well as to meet the rising food deᴍᴀɴds of a growing world population. As technology develops, smart farming is transforming agriculture from a system that heavily relied on growers’ knowledge and intuition to a data-driven industry, enabling a wider range of participation in the process. In the sections that follow, I look at the quick development of smart agriculture both domestically and abroad, as well as its possibilities for the future.
There is no denying that smart farming is developing quickly. To keep up with the rapidly evolving field of smart agriculture, local governments, agricultural development and extension centers in each prefecture, the Jᴀᴘᴀɴ Agricultural Cooperatives organization, and producers must all keep a ᴄʟᴏsᴇ eye on new developments.
