[Masuda Forum 2019] Primary Industry Evolving through Research - Reversal of a Vanishing City / Thursday, July 25, 2019, 11:00

Riverness will sponsor the event.Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Masuda Forum 2019(Thursday, July 25, 2019), a panel discussion will be held within the "Primary Industries Evolving through Research - Turning Around a Vanishing City".

The content discussed in last year's Masuda Forum session "Local Agritech 2030" and "Realization of Livestock Production Utilizing Abandoned Forest Land" has begun as a demonstration study. In Local Agritech 2030, we are studying the effects of feeding baby leaves on yield and quality in order to utilize materials that have been an issue in the region. In addition, the realization of livestock production using abandoned forest land is scheduled to begin in early fall, using unused farmland as pastureland. In this session, we will introduce the progress of these efforts by the operators, researchers, and companies in Masuda City, and discuss future developments.

We have prepared a program of discussions among researchers, venture companies, and large corporations from various perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session. We are currently accepting applications for audience participation. Please visit the conference website (see below).

Tokio Kayaba

The company manufactures a swelling processor (brand name - "Planting Fiber") as a technology for recycling herbaceous material, and is developing facilities for recycling pruning branches for municipalities. The herbaceous material is compressed, kneaded, defibered, and heated to change its properties. The company is aiming to develop this technology as a pre-processing technology for the utilization of bamboos and alianthus.

Agri Mito Ltd.
Yuichi Kusano

Agri Mito" is an agricultural production corporation that produces and sells agricultural products such as strawberries, baby leaves, paddy rice, daffodils, and eggplants, mainly in Mito Town, Masuda City, Shimane Prefecture. Because agricultural production is conducted in a mountainous area, it is difficult to improve management efficiency through large-scale production. In addition, in the winter, the area receives little sunlight and snowfall, which is unique to the San-in region, making it difficult to produce crops year-round and to provide year-round employment. Under these circumstances, the company is developing sustainable agricultural production in mountainous areas by growing strawberries, which have a high yield and can be grown in winter, and baby leaves throughout the year.
