Event: ECHO Asia "Improving Lives" Agriculture & Community Development Conference (05 اکتوبر 2017)
We produce food with a healthy relationship with nature. However, on March 11, 2011, an earthquake occured in Northeast Japan and the resulting sunami killed more than 18,000 people and it also crippled a nuclear power plant. As the nuclear plant exploded, our school was also contaminated by radiation. It polluted the water, air, soil, trees, and our life. What is real rural development and what is the meaning of producing food? We are carrying these questions much more deeply than before.
