AgriTech and Food Tech

Although the agriculture, forestry and fishery industries have traditionally relied on the experience and intuition of workers, recently it has become possible to convert this into data and extract the various factors that are necessary for growth, and then utilize the data to improve production efficiency of crops, etc. Active efforts also are being made to reduce the need for labor and increase unmanned operations by using drones in response to the depopulation and aging of agricultural communities and fishing villages.
