| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have been working on creating a model that connects producers, consumers, and direct sales outlets, aiming to accumulate knowledge and expertise based on the experience and intuition of producers, and enhance the value of agricultural products. However, as more than 60% of agricultural workers are elderly, there is a low awareness of utilizing IT devices. In our previous field experiments conducted at roadside stations, increasing the utilization rate has been a challenge. Therefore, this study aims to design a new form of information that connects producers and consumers. Additionally, we will conduct research on interface design that allows the elderly to intuitively operate IT devices in the agricultural field, enabling continuous usage, and validate its effectiveness through field experiments.
