\u25ceThis is a reprint of an article published in 2008, "Tategamori Winter" (a public relations magazine for Tategamori Ark Ranch).<\/span>
Although it is an article from 10 years ago, the content does not fade,
\nRather, in terms of food safety and the environment surrounding Japanese agriculture,
\nIt is a content that I would like you to read because society's interest is increasing now.<\/span><\/p>\n

[I want to protect Japanese food and agriculture]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Japan is one of the few countries in the world with four distinct seasons.
\nBeing an island country with few plains and many mountains, it is rich in both seafood and mountains.
\nSince ancient times, Japanese people have felt the season through food, as various ingredients convey the season according to the season.<\/p>\n

However, not only recently, but almost every day we hear news that threatens Japanese food.
\nPoisonous substances are mixed, foreign substances are mixed ...
\nWhen I see such reports, I feel guilty as a person involved in production, and
\nWhat can you do as a person on the production floor? I ask myself.
\nFood, which is supposed to nurture a healthy body, should not pose a danger to the body.
\nWhile there are people suffering from hunger,
\nI can't help but question the use of food as fuel.<\/p>\n

However, Japan is also a strange country. As the price of rice falls,
\nWithout loosening the acreage reduction policy, subsidies will be paid instead if rice is not produced.
\nWhile domestic farmland is in ruins, we consume a huge amount of energy and import food from overseas.
\nIf you think about it, you can buy rice mixed with poison from overseas at a high price, called minimum access.
\nHaving said that, the reality is that most of the feed used to produce ARK's pork and eggs is imported from overseas (though of course we give top priority to non-GMO products).<\/p>\n

What can we as producers do in this situation? I think about that every day.
\nAs you know, Japan's food self-sufficiency rate is the lowest among developed countries.
\nI don't think all food produced overseas is bad,
\nDo people from overseas who produce food that is imported through price competition think about the health of the Japanese people and the bodies of the people who will eat it?
\nI wonder.
\nHowever, many Japanese producers say, "I want them to be happy" and "I want them to say it's delicious."
\nI think that the smile of such a consumer is considered first and foremost in production.
\nAll the people I know are like that.
\nConsidering this, we should raise the domestic food self-sufficiency rate even a little,
\nI think we Japanese have to make what we Japanese eat.<\/p>\n

This year, ARK started working on feed rice.
\nIt is what you feed when you produce pork or eggs.
\nIt all started when I was talking to an acquaintance of mine who was a farmer.
\n"Actually, I want to grow rice without changing crops or suspending crops, but I can't grow rice because of regulations."
\nI heard a story like that.
\nAfter that, I did some research and found out that there are various regulations regarding rice, which is the staple food of the Japanese people.
\nIt was all under the pretext of protecting the farmers,
\nOn the contrary, it seemed to tie up Japanese agriculture.
\"\"
\n<Project members><\/p>\n

I thought that if we were doing this, we would never see the development of Japanese agriculture.
\nWith the cooperation of the local people, we have started cultivating 100 square meters of the planted area this year.
\nWith the help of various people, I obtained the seeds of high-yield rice called Fukuhibiki.
\nIt was the first time for everyone in the area to take part,
\nHe seems to have gotten a good response, and I'm looking forward to working on a larger area next year.
\"\"
\n<Overview of \u201cARK Farm Feed Rice Project\u201d><\/p>\n

Certainly, production costs go up.
\nOn the other hand, to continue these efforts, we need to make the price acceptable to consumers.
\nFor that reason, severe production management will be necessary from now on,
\nWe believe that we must strive to create even higher quality food.
\nThis is because when we think globally about the future of Japan 10 or 20 years from now,
\nThis is because I feel a greater sense of crisis if we continue to bring in food from overseas while leaving the farmland in ruins.<\/p>\n

A lush green land is not created only by forests.
\nThe land rich in crops retains water, nurtures the creatures that gather there,
\nIt keeps the food chain of microbes in balance.
\nARK will continue to work hard every day under the philosophy of \u201cFood is life\u201d.<\/p>\n
