Diverse State Agricultural Japan In Troubleshooting

 It is common knowledge that young people are now very rare anyone is interested to cultivate the farm . In Japan alone the current number of people working in agriculture can be said to be very minimal . One family of farmers in Japan , typically composed of 4 members of a family , usually have to take care of dozens of hectares of land , even in some areas they have to deal with more than 100 hectares of land . With the age of the farmers in Japan are generally no longer young , it is of course to be a serious problem .
Japan, like most other countries in the world , is experiencing a particularly complex issue in the agricultural sector . Besides the issue of the availability of land , the main issues that emerged in Japan is the decrease in people who are interested to engage in agriculture , while the average person who works as a farmer is now growing older . Impact of agricultural products they are not able to cover the needs in their own country . Japan is only capable of producing about 40 % of the country's needs of agricultural products . To overcome this problem various parties in Japan trying to take a variety of ways , especially through their areas of expertise , namely technology .

Various parties , especially from the academic and agricultural equipment manufacturer , is very aware of the issues that hit Japan this . They then work together to find solutions to overcome them . One is cooperation between Yanmar and Hokkaido University to produce agricultural machinery capable of working without driven by humans . Prototype product itself has been tested in a field in Sapporo and Tsukaba in late 2012.

The engine when the engine tested include plowman and rice harvester . Both the machine works automatically bedasarkan data that has been inputted and use GPS technology as his guide with an error margin of less than 10 cm . Prof . Noboru Noguchi of Hokkaido University hopes this product will be able to assist farmers to undertake agricultural work without having to spend a lot of energy . The trial itself but to assess how effective these machines , also aimed to address public doubts about the security of this technology .

This technology was initially considered to be dangerous due to possible engine will hit people or other objects that are in its tracks when the machine works . But through a demonstration , the development team managed to dispel doubts and to show how safe it is thanks to the machine that they plug the sensor technology . with two kinds of sensors they use , these machines will stop automatically and honked as a warning if it detects the presence of a barrier at a distance up to 30 meters . The developer has said though it was quite satisfied with the performance of this machine , but still plan to make a more compact display engine prior to shipping .

Interestingly it was not just outsiders who are working hard to help the performance of the farmers . The farmers in Japan itself consciously begin to develop themselves to improve the quality of work , use of GPS is now starting to bloom among farmers in Japan to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their work . In addition they often hold discussions to develop their farm equipment to become more practical .

Thanks to the awareness of the various parties in Japan , farms in Japan are now slowly starting to lead on track better . Various technologies to their advantage optimally empowered to support agricultural progress . A friend of mine who said even the original Japanese , "Soon agricultural land in Japan is not going to stop producing the best product , even when the farmers were fast asleep ."
