Cotton Cultivation in Fallow Rice Field Project 2024
Tabio Corporation’s initiative to cultivate cotton in fallow rice fields is attracting attention as a new trial of agriculture and industry that not only protects fallow rice fields, but also creates employment opportunities, revitalizes local economies, and ensures traceability of raw materials (see article here). In support of this initiative, we have held cotton harvesting events in fallow rice fields in 2021 to 2023 as the NAIST SDGs Action. In this year, we hope that participants will not only pick cotton balls, but also experience the various processes of cotton cultivation, such as sowing seeds and weeding, and think about the SDGs through interaction with senior and Tabio’s employees who work in the fields. We look forward to your participation.
