[May 27 Event] Keeping Food Supply Running in an Era of Energy Instability: The Frontlines of Implementing Plant Factories, Controlled Environment Agriculture, and Energy Efficiency — DOIC Metaverse Tour
The theme of the May DOIC Technology Co-Creation Tour is “Food/Agriculture × Tech.”
From “producing at low cost” to “delivering without disruption.”
The key to stable food supply lies in environmental control and energy design.
Climate change, fluctuating energy prices, and geopolitical risks are making food security no longer just an agricultural issue, but a matter of corporate management and social infrastructure.
This event will focus on plant factories and controlled environment agriculture, bringing together advanced environmental control technologies, energy efficiency, and regional energy utilization from Osaka University and Osaka Metropolitan University to discuss how to realize “uninterrupted production.”
Beyond introducing research and technology seeds, the event will explore the potential for “Japan-originated technologies with global implementation” from the unique perspective of DOIC.
