I have been working in the corporate world for nearly 20 years, but I have come to question my life of daily consumption, and want to contribute to the next generation and even further generations to come.
The climate has changed dramatically over the past few years, and I imagine that no matter what crises occur, eating will continue to be an essential part of our lives, and will become more and more a common issue for all of us.
I would like to think about the problems of people who live in different environments and have different values, and the facts behind consumption, not with a textbook understanding that is far removed from my own, but with the reality of the situation, and explore how we can “live together” here at ARI.
In addition, I would like to enhance my expertise through practical skills in organic farming and animal husbandry, and deepen my learning to resolve issues close to where I am now, such as how to raise funds and how to make production sites attractive to people in an environment suffering from a labor shortage.
After graduation, in addition to establishing a model farm, I would like to create a program that conveys the concept of taking life through practice.
I will also work on composting toilets and using solar energy. My hope for the future is to enrich the local community through a sustainable approach, by strengthening my resolve to fully see nature, and by conveying a spirit of mutual hand-holding. I hope to realize a wide range of activities that interest me.
