AFJ日本農業経営大学校 launches AI course taught by Noujoujin CEO

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    AFJ日本農業経営大学校 will offer a 4-session online "AI Practice Course for Agricultural Managers," taught by Noujoujin CEO 甲斐雄一郎, starting 2027年2月16日 with 20 seats.

  2. Why it matters

    The course treats AI as a management tool for farm operations, not just a drafting aid—so farmers learn to verify AI output and keep the final decision themselves.

WHO IT HITSFarm owners and successors who run day-to-day operations are the intended students; the course caps enrollment at 20 and asks each participant to bring their own business tasks as material.

Context & Analysis

The course arrives as generative AI becomes usable in plain language, and farming operations are already picking it up for information gathering, drafting, and organizing records. Noujoujin's curriculum is drawn from interviews with farmers and from its hands-on support work, including building AI that acts as a management "right hand" for agricultural corporations and launching direct-sales e-commerce. That field experience is meant to supply each session's examples. The stated theme is a shift "from farming that uses AI to farming that changes management through AI," and the design leans on peer exchange plus instructor feedback rather than lectures alone. Each participant works on their own operational tasks, checks the results, and leaves with an action plan for continuing after the course.
