A research group led by Professor Naoshi Uchihira of Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and Buta Agricultural Products Co., Ltd. (Nonoichi City, Ishikawa Prefecture) have developed the first voice tweet system in the agricultural industry to collect and utilize the awareness of agricultural workers. However, it was operated from June to October 2020 in the actual field, and it was confirmed that it is useful for knowledge transfer in agriculture.

 In recent years, the number of corporate management bodies in agriculture has increased, and the number of new farmers has been increasing accordingly.In addition, in smart agriculture promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, "realization of agriculture that is easy for everyone to work on" was raised, and the necessity of passing on knowledge to new farmers and successors using information and communication technology (ICT) was advocated. ing.

 This time, we made the first attempt to communicate with multiple people in agriculture by utilizing the voice tweet system used in nursing care sites.In this attempt, the operator's voice is recorded without using a pen or note paper, and where the tweet was made is specified based on the GPS record.Since the current cultivation record can be easily created, the credibility of the record is also improved.

 Furthermore, by collecting the awareness of experts in the field, it is possible to express the knowledge and skills of experts that have not been clarified in the past.In addition, by leaving the young people's awareness, it is possible to grasp the parts where the young people lack knowledge and the points where they are likely to stumble, and connect them to the young people's guidance.In this way, knowledge transfer using the voice tweet system can be expected.

 In the future, in cooperation with WAGRI, which is an agricultural data linkage platform, and JA Zenno's Z-GIS (business management system that utilizes brush polygons), numerical data will be used to determine the parts that farmers have used their five senses to make sensuous decisions. By expressing it explicitly, it is expected to pass on knowledge and acquire new knowledge on the cultivation of agricultural products.
