About (Excerpt from exhibition website)

The future agriculture Tsuruoka City and an Artist portray together
In “The Third Wave”(1980), Alvin Toffler defined the arrival of settled agricultural societies which prevailed thousands of years ago as the first agricultural revolution. And then, if we assume the historical agricultural revolution that took place by the considerable improvement of the efficiency in agriculture that was triggered industrial revolution, we can say that the full-blown “third agricultural revolution”, ― that overturn the existing agriculture more than precise agriculture ― is at hand.
“Agricultural Revolution 3.0” is a new vision that heralds the beginning of a new paradigm in which the development of smart agriculture and biotechnology implement to “convert crops into the resource as petroleum was used to be”, and the importance of the agricultural industry is literally changed by the city where above technologies are integrated. This concept enables us to envisage a new figure of the city where various key industries flourish with low environmental load circulation while there is a pastoral landscape ― even though the actual identity is super artificial natural landscape.
