can't automate vertical farming

Full ai supervision of everything

Farmbots

The big cities in Japan are overpopulated. The rest of the country has a population *shortage*.

ah, no; AI doesn't work like that

Maybe they should've considered building modern stuff

And moving industry into the county

Like the us does

Ye once you get Fusion powered vertical farming sites you probably can afford to automate then too

Fusion Power = Fairy Tale

Or Japan could just force the NEETS out of the big cities, and make them go be farmers.

@Arthur Grayborn that still means the entire land is overpopulated lol

It is physically impossible for Japan to farm for most of it's food

people who actually want to live in cities are brain damaged

^

Japan implements 5 year plan

People who want to live in cities move there for employment

Oh so disappointed nobody jumped to defend fusion power

American farming techniques require about 1-2 acres per person, but that's not the only way to grow food. There are more expensive techniques that allow you to feed ten or more people per acre.

yes, but many actually like it

>Japan is mostly mountains

modern farm techniques can harvest 10 acres per day with one tractor

Employment and entertainment

not living there just for cash

There's few plains.

you can't come close to that with vertical farming

The only reason we don't use those more land-efficient farming techniques is because they're more expensive. Only reason.

American farming techniques are largely automated lol

it's only good on a user/user basis

Again, Japan doesn't have the space.

Ocean farms?

What idiot thing do you think of farmers

Mmmmm algae

A single farmer can do several square leagues

Worth of labd

10 acres; 1 day ; 1 farmer

that IS automation

America isn't a tucking subsistence farming country

wheat doesn't harvest itself

They mechanize everhthibg
