AISubs v3.4
Together with Nugizaka46, let's learn about domestic products!
Food consumed in Japan is produced in Japan as much as possible.
This is called "domestic product".
The current food supply rate in Japan is 38% calorie-based.
It depends on import about 60%.
If there are fewer rice fields and fields in Japan,
and if import from overseas is restricted due to disasters,
we may lose what we eat.
In this program, we will report on where and how domestic ingredients are produced,
and Nugizaka46 members who support J.A. Group's national promotion of domestic products will report on the site.
Mukai and Iwamoto visit farmers in Hokkaido who are engaged in smart agriculture and experience cutting- edge technology.
We will report on smart agriculture, which can dramatically change agriculture.
Many young farmers are engaged in smart agriculture,
but there are young leaders who treat them like brothers.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Inamura.
I'm Iwamoto Renka.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Mr. Inamura, can you tell us about your role and who you are?
I'm the fifth generation of farmers who have been doing this for 130 years.
I'm the chairman of the Association of Young Farmers in Hokkaido.
Wow, you're a leader.
Thank you. I'm doing my best.
We'll hear from you today. Thank you for joining us.
Thank you for having me.
Today, we will learn about smart agriculture and its functions.
Today we will learn about a machine called "combine".
By the way, do you know what this "combine" does?
I don't know, but it has sharp blades.
I wonder if it digs up soil or something like that.
I wonder if it mows or something like that.
No, this is a machine that digs up rice.
I see, it digs up rice. Does it have blades?
That's right. It's a little further back and you can't see it, but it digs up rice that is originally standing.
It takes out the part that becomes garbage from behind and separates only the important rice part and takes it.
Wow, it's not just digging up rice, it's actually doing it.
Today we will learn about smart agriculture, so we have a machine version that you can use smartly.
Wow, I'm happy.
How does this combine work?
This combine moves automatically.
Wow, it's smart.
As I said, all of the work of separating and taking out is done automatically.
Wow, I didn't know that.
First of all, you don't need a general driver's license like a machine because you are in a field or a field.
As for this machine, you can start it by pressing a button.
Wow, that's amazing.
Does that mean we can ride it too?
You can ride it.
Wow, I want to ride it.
It doesn't move, but please ride it and look at the scenery.
Wow, I'm happy.
Here you go.
Thank you very much.
Wow, it's high.
How is it? Is it high?
Wow, it's really high.
Can you see it?
Yes, I can see it.
Wow!
On the left of the screen, there are three round buttons.
If you press two of the upper buttons, the automatic mode will start.
So you can just ride it?
Yes, you can just ride it.
Wow!
I feel like I'm a farmer now.
Wow!
I'm so happy!
What is this white tube on top of it?
Yes, I've noticed something good about it.
You can move the tube and move the rice along with the load of the truck.
I see.
So you can get the rice out of here.
Do you select the rice inside?
Yes, you can separate the rice grains.
And since it's a smart combine, you can get the ingredients of the rice, like water, protein, etc.
Wow!
You can do that?
Yes, you can.
You can do a lot of things with it.
Wow!
You can't actually test it today, but you can move this arm.
I think it'd be nice if you could do it like you're playing a game.
I think it's Renka's turn.
Can I?
Yes!
Please try it out.
I'll try it out.
You can use this controller to do it.
Wow!
It's very simple, but if you press the auto-rotate button, the arm will start moving.
Wow!
Can I?
You can.
I'll press it.
Yes!
Wow!
It's moving!
Wow!
It actually comes out of here!
It's so much fun!
If it's true, a truck will come here and take out the garbage along with it.
It means we can drop it wherever we park the truck.
It was so much fun!
It was fun!
You said you were collecting data.
How do you collect and use them?
There are two kinds of data that can be measured with this machine.
One is how much water is contained and the other is how much protein is contained.
For example, protein can be used as a standard for delicious rice.
By collecting data, you can make tastier rice for the next year.
Also, there is a process of drying the rice that you borrowed.
So, you can use as little water as possible without using fuel for drying.
You can collect data in a way that doesn't cost you as much as possible.
I see.
Yes.
You two did a great job today!
Thank you!
You must be tired.
It was so much fun!
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Here is a rice ball I made in my rice field.
Please try it.
Can I?
Thank you!
I'll eat it now.
Thank you for coming.
Let's eat!
Mmm!
Yum!
Cute!
It's so chewy!
It's good!
You eat first.
I want to eat first.
OK, Hazuki, you eat first.
I'll eat first.
It's good!
Let's eat!
How is it?
It's good!
I'm grateful that someone who made it for me is in front of me.
It's good!
It's precious.
It's sweet.
It's protein.
But it's selected rice.
That's right. It's good.
Is there a secret to this rice ball's deliciousness?
That's right. Using the technology of smart agriculture that you saw today, of course, making it.
The first thing is to make it so that the person who eats it will be happy and happy.
The other is to make it with love and care so that the person will be happy and happy.
I think these two are important.
This is a love-filled rice ball.
When I bought rice at a store, I just chose it because it was cheap.
From now on, if I buy it thinking that a farmer made it with love, I think the scenery will be different and the rice ball will taste better.
I'm really happy to hear that.
Thank you very much.
I'm always in your care.
Thank you very much.
It's delicious.
Finally, we will ask Mr. Inamura various questions about the future of smart agriculture.
Today we learned a lot about smart agriculture.
Smart agriculture is booming in Hokkaido, isn't it?
That's right.
You've just seen smart drinks about rice, but milk in front of you, for example.
Now, cows are squeezing milk.
This is called "sucking milk", but there are machines that do it automatically without using everyone's hands.
And cows, of course, drink milk,
and there are machines that can automatically adjust the amount of milk a cow can drink.
Wow, I didn't know that.
It's all automatic now, isn't it?
Wow, it's the near future.
Is smart agriculture already being done all over Japan?
That's right. As you can see, Hokkaido is made up of very large fields and fields.
Of course, it's an area where a lot of smart agriculture is being done, but smart agriculture is also being done in Honshu.
For example, in areas like Yamanashi Prefecture where they make fruit, there are quite a few diagonal places.
It's difficult for people to enter those places for grass hunting, so they use remote control grass hunters to hunt grass.
Wow, that's efficient and nice.
It's very convenient.
Also, smart agriculture is being used not only in the production area, but also when you ship your harvest.
In Hokkaido, they use AI and artificial intelligence to automatically determine the size of your harvest.
I've heard that it's about 40% more efficient now.
Wow, that's amazing.
There must have been people who did that before, so it must have cost a lot of money.
That's right.
I think smart agriculture is amazing even now, but what possibilities do you want to feel in the future?
That's right. The number of farmers is decreasing and the age is getting older, so we're actually thinking about how we can solve that problem.
In addition, the cost of materials we use for farming is also rising, so as you can see, we are using the amount of feed that we can reduce or the working hours that we can reduce,
and I hope that it will be safe and delicious for both our management and those who buy it.
I think it will also lead to national and national products that we eat in Japan and want to make in Japan.
That's amazing. It seems like even young people in smart agriculture will be interested in it.
I had a lot of fun experiencing it today, and I think it would be very attractive if young people could see it too.
I think that if smart agriculture can be produced more efficiently, national and national products will also advance further in the future.
Finally, what do you want to do in the future?
I think it's our duty to eat delicious, safe and safe food made in Japan.
While borrowing the power of everyone in Nogizaka, I hope that many people will understand and that agriculture will cheer you up in the future.
Yes, we want to do our best, too.
Thank you very much.
We want to eat a lot and show our gratitude.
Thank you very much.
Smart agriculture will be a very important theme in thinking about Japanese agriculture in the future.
That's right.
Thank you for letting us experience a lot today.
Thank you very much.
It was fun.
I'm happy.
Thank you very much.
