Japan Agricultural Field Research

I need a small team already based in Japan to carry out on-site agricultural investigations across several prefectures this growing season. Your role will span three main areas: detailed soil analysis, in-field crop assessment, and localized pest management observations. You must be comfortable working hands-on in active fields while integrating data from GPS mapping tools, drones for low-altitude aerial surveys, and portable soil-testing kits.

Data capture is expected in three parallel formats: concise manual field notes for contextual observations, structured digital data logs (tablet or smartphone is fine) for metrics, and periodic remote-sensing imagery collected via your drone flights. Consistency across these channels is essential so I can compare regions side-by-side.

Deliverables
• A weekly geo-tagged report for each site summarizing soil nutrient profiles, crop health indicators, and pest pressure.
• Raw datasets exported in CSV (digital logs) plus annotated field notebooks scanned to PDF.
• Aerial imagery stitched and compressed to
