Greenhouse internal environment (Temperature, humidity, solar insolation, EC/pH levels of soil and water)
Cultivating Greenhouse Strawberries in India This system supports greenhouse strawberry cultivation in India. It enables local cultivators to measure and record greenhouse environmental data, which can also be monitored remotely from Japan. Cultivation experts in Japan assess this data and provide advice and recommendations, helping to boost overall productivity.

Virtual Cultivated Land(Kagome)
Agricultural big data is used to stimulate crop growth, accurately predict yields, and formulate ideal harvesting schedules.
▌By reproducing a field in cyberspace, yields and ideal harvest time can be predicted accurately from the first year without requiring long-term data accumulation.
▌Matching satellite data on the actual growth situation to the results predicted from weather and soil data enables precise growth management.
