From automated vertical farms to soil free film farming 🌱, innovative food technologies emerging in Japan could transform global agriculture and strengthen food security worldwide. At Techno Farm Keihanna, highly automated systems produce around 30,000 heads of lettuce per day with minimal labor—data, robotics, and climate-controlled growing environments enable stable, year‑round yields with less resource use 🌍💧. Meanwhile, soil-free IMEC film technology developed by Mebiol enables the production of higher-quality crops with less water, while also creating new opportunities for small-scale and women farmers.
