In support of this initiative, we have held cotton harvesting events in fallow rice fields as the NAIST SDGs Action since 2021. 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\u2019s employees who work in the fields. We look forward to your participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-id=\"631\" src=\"https:\/\/cdgw3.naist.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/E-WEB-Goal-08-e1721350696297.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-631\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdgw3.naist.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/E-WEB-Goal-09-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-632\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdgw3.naist.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/E-WEB-Goal-12-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-635\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdgw3.naist.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/E-WEB-Goal-15-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-638\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdgw3.naist.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/E-WEB-Goal-17-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-640\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NAIST SDGs Action 2026 Vol.3: Cotton Cultivation in Fallow Rice Field Project Part 2: Weeding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants will receive <a href=\"https:\/\/cdgw3.naist.jp\/1489\/\">an original CDG tote bag<\/a> at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Date &amp; Time:<\/strong> Saturday, July 4, 2026, 9:30\u201312:30<br><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Koryo Town, Kitakatsuragi-gun, Nara Prefecture<br>(Meet there by car or public transportation.
