Yesterday, I was offered a task as an interpreter with a study tour of the facility and a workshop for participants from Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, and Tonga who visited NTT central training center, which is working to technically solve agricultural challenges by applying Japan’s cutting-edge communication and AI technology.

I usually have many opportunities to interpret for training in the agricultural field, but I was also interested in the efforts to solve agricultural problems such as shortages of labor and successors, market price fluctuations, and rising transportation costs from the perspective of the uniqueness of agriculture and common issues with other industries from the perspective of the latest technology such as DX and GX, and I learned a lot. NTT’s training facility in Chofu has various research facilities and exhibition demonstration facilities, including a surprisingly authentic experimental greenhouse, and it was a fun experience.
