Smart Agriculture
Efforts to Realize “Smart Agriculture” 
Over the next 20 years, the number of core farmers is expected to decrease to about one-quarter of the current number (from 1.16 million to 300,000), and agricultural production based on conventional production methods cannot ensure sustainable development of agriculture or a stable supply of food.
In order to establish a highly productive food supply system that can maintain production levels under a declining number of farmers, it is necessary to promote the conversion of production methods along with the use of smart agricultural technologies that contribute to more efficient farm work, as well as develop and disseminate smart agricultural technologies, etc.
Agricultural Data Collaboration Platform
To solve the issues of agricultural ICT and to create an environment where business farmers can work toward improving productivity and management by using data, an Agricultural Data Collaboration Platform “WAGRI” was constructed to allow data collaboration and utilization by public and private sectors. The operation started in April 2019.
