Japan's rice terraces (Tanada) are praised for their rural beauty, but their steep slopes and irregular shapes make farming incredibly difficult. As a result, they are rapidly disappearing.
Until now, most AgriTech has focused on maximizing efficiency for large-scale, flat farmlands. But shouldn't we use technology to boost efficiency in small, uneven plots like these terraces?
Transforming these increasingly abandoned rural fields into productive lands through technology is exactly what modern AgriTech should be striving for.
