Paper Abstract:      n agriculture, the transfer of knowledge has become a problem. Agriculture has typically involved knowledge being transferred via it being handed down from parents to children or person to person over a long term. However, in recent years agricultural knowledge has become difficult to transfer because of a decrease in the number of agriculture workers and increasing number of novice agriculture workers in Japan. This study suggests a supportive framework for transferring agricultural knowledge via use of a system. The system supports the transfer of tacit knowledge-based know-how and experience using a SECI model. Furthermore, the system also uses experience gained in failures as part of the knowledge transferred because learn from those failures can be very important. In proving its validity subjects gained experience through cultivating vegetables. In that evaluation experiment the method of cultivation was classified into 3 patterns and the results of the 3 patterns then compared. This then resulted in the efficacy of the system being confirmed.
