Indoor vertical farm in crowded megacity

After the World War II, the Japanese government began their economic reconstruction. The Japanese government bought two-thirds of the total agricultural land from the landlords, the actual owners, and sold it to small farmers at a lower price. Prior to the reform, farmers owned only 23 percent of Japan's total agricultural land. The Japanese government then imposed a ban to stop the landlord system forever. As a result, there was no opportunity for private firms to invest in Japan's farming sector. In 1975, the number of farmers in Japan was about 1.1 crore (11 million) that gradually decreased to less than 20 lakh (2 million) in the next 40 years by 2015. The country's another major cause of concern in the agricultural sector was the age of the farmers. At present, seven out of ten farmers in Japan are aged over 60 years. On the other hand, youths' are seen reluctant to take up agriculture as a full-time profession. As a result, it became very difficult to pull up Japanese agriculture. On one hand, extensive mechanization was required, while on the other hand, youths' needed to attract to come into farming. Now, Japanese government has created opportunities for private investment in the farming sector. As a result, corporate participation, extensive mechanization and use of artificial intelligence in agriculture creating a lot of hope. Several industrial enterprises began investing in the country's agriculture and agricultural technology field. Japan's agriculture has changed quite dramatically and positively since then.
