[Finished] Notice of adoption of a demonstration project proposal for “Smart Agriculture in Urban Areas” I ・ TOP Yokohama Lab

Yokohama City is working on the ICTOP (I-Top) Yokohama Lab, which aims to create new projects by providing a demonstration field. This time, on farmland cultivated by farmers in Yokohama City, we are recruiting proposals for demonstration experiments on new IoT products and services that realize labor saving in agricultural work in urban agriculture, support cultivation of crops, and improvement of farming environment. To do.

In this project, we plan to use "farmland in the city" as a field for demonstration experiments. We are looking forward to proposals for new IoT products and services that will save labor in agricultural work in urban agriculture, support crop cultivation, and improve the farming environment.

（１） Measures to support crop cultivation in agricultural areas

• Diagnostic imaging systems, cameras, etc. that contribute to crop cultivation support and work efficiency by utilizing AI and other technologies

（２） Safety Measures for Farming Vehicles in Agricultural Areas

• Systems (sensors, alarm devices, etc.) that are added to existing agricultural vehicles to improve the safety of agricultural work.

（３） Measures against wild birds and beasts in agricultural areas

• Surveillance cameras linked to the cloud that can be easily operated by farmers.
• Night monitoring drones (e.g., emits sounds and smells that wild animals avoid when detected), etc.

（４） Effective measures against illegal dumping in agricultural areas (farmland/adjacent roads)

• Surveillance cameras linked to the cloud that can be easily operated by farmers.
• Night monitoring drones (equipped with face recognition system, etc.)

（５） Prevention of crop theft in agricultural areas

• Surveillance cameras linked to the cloud that can be easily operated by farmers.
• Night monitoring drones (equipped with face recognition system, etc.)

※Because there are many farmland adjacent to residential areas, any of the items (1) to (5) are specifications that make loud noises at night or that are easily damaged by inadvertently touching the general public. Not desirable.

• Already participating in ITOPI Yokohama. You must apply for participation at the same time as applying.
• The ideas for products and services have been embodied, and prototypes have already been completed for immediate demonstration experiments. (After adoption, prototype development will begin, and those that require a certain period of time to prove products and services will be deemed not to be eligible for application.)
• The proposal for “I ・ TOP Yokohama Lab” is a new product / service that matches the purpose and theme, and a demonstration experiment of products and services for a certain period of time on farmland cultivated by farmers in Yokohama City. What you want and planning. (If you wish or do not plan a demonstration experiment on a new product or service (eg, you only want to match with a farmer), you will be deemed not eligible to apply.

Yokohama City has launched "IoT Open Innovation Partners (ITOP Yokohama)" as a place for exchange and collaboration, project promotion, and human resource development, to create business utilizing IoT and other technologies. In collaboration with various companies and organizations in Japan and overseas, ITOPI Yokohama is working to develop products and services with high value-added products and services, create new businesses, and solve social issues using new technologies.

Yokohama is facing social issues such as declining birthrate and aging population, declining working-age population, and aging urban infrastructure, mainly in suburban areas. On the other hand, various international events are held in Yokohama, and it is also a city that has opportunities for future leaps, such as disseminating the appeal of the city and revitalizing the economy. Under these circumstances, ITOPI Yokohama has established the "ITOP Yokohama Lab" as a new framework in order to solve the issues and possibilities of Yokohama through IoT and to develop and satisfy the needs through IoT and to develop and fulfill their needs through IoT.
