Prehistory for ALFAE

National IT project on the agriculture ( 1997-2005:Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries)

Research Project for Integrated Agricultural Information Systems with Distributed Databases and Models

Broker system(Weather, Soil, Water, Plant)

Sensing Communication, Network

Database Modeling, Simulation

On-site Data Sensing (Information arising on the spot)

Massively Distributed Field Monitoring System

Accurate Sensing of Bioinformation by Optical Method with Multiband Spectra and Its Structured Data Handling

Present Stage of Optical Measurement

1. X ray Fluorescent X-ray spectroscopy →Leaf 　→ K ・ Ca ・ P ・ N ・ Mg ・ Fe ・ Zn ・ Cu ・ S Simultaneous Measurement

2. UV Fluorescence spectroscopy → Leaf (1D, 2D)→ Saccharides, Pigments, Organic acids, Disease Symptom

3. VIS Color and Shape Analytical Method → Leaf, Fruits→ Pigments, Vigor State of Plants Color and Shape Analytical Method → Plant (3D)→ Water Potential

4. NIR Near-Infrared Moisture Sensor with a Pyroelectric Device 　→　 Soil → Moisture Content and Temperature

5. MIR FT-IR/ATR → Leaf → Moisture Content, Oligosaccharides, Nitrogen,

Agricultural Chemical FT-IR/ATR →Fruits → Moisture Content, Mono and disaccharides,

Acids 6. THz

Spectroscopy → On-going Basic Research for Saccharides Sensing

Sensor Selection for Multi-Sensor Network

Accurate, Heavy and Expensive

Not so accurate, Small and Cheap

Area-wide e-Laboratory for Food, Agriculture and Environment Mission of ALFAE

• The ALFAE is the driving force for realizing a human-based economic and social system in the world, maintaining an appropriate balance among food, agricultural and environmental objectives.

• The feature of the ALFAE is the collaboration between industry, government, universities and citizens, who are cooperating to build social ethics and lead life environments in the right direction.

• Soon comes the new digital era, we will undertake our mission using computer networks as a communication tool for enhancing human nature.

• The ALFAE is aiming at the creation of Paradigm Shift for social development, cultural succession, and the enhancement of Quality of Life for everybody.
