For aging farmers, disease detection and farming large plots of land can be burdensome. Daisuke Komura, the head of JA Obihiro Kawanishi’s Agricultural Promotion Division , expresses hope, stating, “If we can improve efficiency through this demonstration, some farmers may even attempt to expand their cultivated land.”
Vast farmlands extend beyond Hokkaido , they are found across the globe. Komura adds, “We are experts in agriculture, but when it comes to communication and AI, we are absolute beginners. Conversely, NEC’s ideas, free from the constraints of traditional farming knowledge, provide great inspiration.” He envisions, “With the power of NEC’s technology, we hope to expand this ‘new agriculture’ not just in Hokkaido, but globally.”
