Smart Farms: Drawing a New Future for Agriculture in Times of Crisis

Concerns about securing a stable food supply are growing due to factors such as the climate crisis, supply chain instability caused by war, and the aging rural population.
Unpredictable torrential rains have flooded rice paddies and fields, sudden temperature changes have prevented fruits from ripening, and food prices have skyrocketed due to labor shortages and rising logistics costs. These are no longer stories from a distant land.

The author has been designing and operating smart farms in the field for over 20 years.
He proposes a new direction for agriculture in an era of uncertainty in everything from climate and energy to labor and markets: smart farms, where people, technology, and nature are in harmony.

Smart farms are not simply automated technologies.
This technology collects and analyzes data in real time to create the optimal environment for crop growth, transforming agriculture from relying solely on "human intuition" to one based on objective data, allowing diverse people, including young people, retirees, and the disabled, to take on the challenge of farming.
It is a technology that can provide solutions to the crisis we face.

In these uncertain times, how will agriculture change in the future? What strategies will we employ to navigate this crisis? I hope this book will provide the answers.
