I thought why the System Agriculture Society was founded and why it could not grow. The reason for being established was probably because agricultural science was divided into small pieces and it was impossible to solve real problems. Academic fields beyond disciplines were needed. However, Japanese do not like systematic thinking. This is because the Japanese were making rice in the island country. The Japanese have been living in a small village to make rice. Also, because it is an island country, it was peaceful than the country in the continent. People who grew up in such an environment kept the peace of the village by not intervening in other fields. Such temperament hindered the development of system agriculture. It was also thought that the research using statistics was system agriculture, but since statistics are also used in other fields, system agriculture never developed significantly. Combined with remote sensing became a powerful field for a while, but now that satellite imagery has become generalized, as typified by Google Earth, it cannot develop system agriculture. System agriculture needs to return to its original intention and conduct research that integrates many fields.
