Overview
Smart agriculture research is being actively pursued around the world to dramatically improve agricultural productivity and to realize sustainable agriculture. In order to expand smart agriculture technology originated in Japan widely overseas, it is important to promote research and development with an awareness of international standardization. Therefore, in this symposium, conducting of effective & efficient research and international collaboration will be discussed through lectures by experts from each country. The scope of lectures would be regarding the current status of smart agriculture research related to agricultural machinery and information in Europe, Asia and Japan as well as about the commonalization and standardization of technologies with the view of international standardization.
