Information Processing for Biodiversity-Aware Planting Plans
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing agricultural techniques struggle to support the construction of an expanded ecosystem that enhances biological diversity, as they primarily focus on monoculture planting plans.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that create planting plans based on cultivation periods, growth periods, and biological diversity index information, generating planting plan information that includes target plant species and planting times to enhance biodiversity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a monoculture planting plan is created to maximize productivity for limited types of plants, then productivity is improved, but biological diversity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameters of the planting plan by incorporating biological diversity index information alongside traditional cultivation period and growth period constraints. This allows the planning unit to generate planting plans that satisfy both productivity requirements and biological diversity targets, resolving the contradiction between maximizing productivity for limited plant types and enhancing biological diversity through expanded ecosystem construction.
2Reliability
If a planting plan is created based on cultivation period and growth period constraints, then feasibility is improved, but biological diversity is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The planning unit is designed to perform multiple functions: it simultaneously considers cultivation period constraints, growth period constraints, and biological diversity index information when generating planting plans. This multi-functional approach allows the system to create planting plans that are both feasible (satisfying temporal constraints) and diverse (enhancing biological diversity), thereby resolving the contradiction between feasibility and biological diversity.

AI summary
The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program capable of supporting construction of an expanded ecosystem.A planting plan is created on the basis of a cultivation period during which plants are cultivated, a growth period during which a plant species can be grown, and biological diversity index information as an index of biological diversity, and planting plan information indicating the planting plan is generated, the planting plan including a target plant species which is set as a target of planting and a planting time for which the target plant species can be planted. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a support system that supports construction of an expanded ecosystem.
