Regional innovation co-creation base through diversity agriculture 〇 What is diversity agriculture?
It is a custom-made type of agriculture that allows various new farmers with various circumstances and needs to overcome the challenges they face in farming and to farm in a variety of ways. At this base, we use digital transformation (DX) to smoothly inherit “tacit knowledge” and improve the skills of workers through technical support, and furthermore, we can engage in agriculture with physical and mental peace of mind and satisfaction. We will work on safety and health management to increase the agricultural population and achieve well-being. In addition, we will consider various “profitable” agricultural management models, strengthen the management base of farmers, and aim to realize a strong, diverse, and vibrant local community.
