Abstract: Abstract This chapter discussed impacts and policy implications of smart farming technologies on rice production in Japan, based on the series of research projects started from “Noshonavi1000”. Research framework and smart farming technologies in the project are also illustrated to understand the results. Many kinds of data on rice production were collected from large-scale advanced rice farms. Then the data set was used for empirical analyses of production efficiency determinants, production cost as well as impacts of the technologies on the farm. The results indicate that smart agriculture improves agricultural production efficiency through utilizing technical support such as data visualization and analysis. Furthermore, it is indicated that smart farming technologies may have positive impacts on rice production in Japan. However, the results also reveal that practical smart farming technologies may have larger impacts on real rice production than advanced technologies. This implies that only appropriate technologies for real farms can more contribute to agricultural innovation.
