TENCHIJIN’S
QUEST FOR EARTH

Rice cultivation is concerned about the deterioration of the rice texture and taste due to global warming. Therefore, one objective of Space Big Data Rice is to "produce brand-name rice that is climate-responsive".

In addition, concerns about the future supply capacity of Japanese agriculture are being voiced due to the ageing and declining number of producers. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the number of people employed in agriculture was 1,361,000 in 2020 - some 400,000 fewer than in 2015, and this decline is expected to continue.

Using the Tenchijin Compass web-based GIS service, we searched all over Japan for the best locations to cultivate Shinmei's unique varieties in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. The cultivation process is controlled automatically with awareness of how many hours of cold water taken in at night affects the temperature of the water. score that is comparable to top brands. Delicious rice was harvested. The project has been recognised for its future efficiency in rice production, and for its promising future use of space assets and technology as an agricultural measure to increase production, as well as for its groundbreaking smart cultivation methods that enable water management without the need for patrolling.
