| Research Abstract |
This study has shown through PC classes for elderly people that ICT can contribute to sales of farm products and activation of agriculture. We investigated mowing job in mountainous area. Improvement of handle of mowing machine can be effective to remove numbness of hands. Application of robot technology for agriculture efficiency needs another innovation which can be applied to the mountainous area. It was shown in this study that farm volunteer system can activate elderly people's farm instead of robot.
