Kansai Forum 2020] Creating an Agri-Tech Demonstration Field with a Super Interdisciplinary Team - Hacking an Orchard with IT x Real Tech - / June 21, 2020, 15:00~ @ Kobe City

A panel discussion titled "Creating an Agri-Tech Demonstration Field with a Super-Different Field Team - Hacking an Orchard with IT x Real Tech" will be held within the Kansai Forum 2020 (Sunday, June 21, 2020), a super-different field conference hosted by LIVERNESS.

In recent years, research and development has been aggressively pursued by large corporations, venture companies, and researchers to realize agriculture using robots, IoT, and data. There have been an increasing number of efforts to develop demonstrations in actual agricultural fields in a wide range of fields, including paddy rice, open field vegetables, and facility cultivation. In this session, we will focus on fruit trees in particular, and discuss the next step forward with three researchers who have demonstrated sensing technologies essential for data utilization. Together, we will recruit colleagues who will work together to create the agriculture of the future. 

We have prepared a program of discussions among researchers, venture companies, and large corporations from various perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session. We are looking for audience members, so please join us. Please visit the conference website (see below).
