On August 18, Town＆ Gown Institute of Innovation for the Future hosted a high school workshop on the theme of ‘Carbon Neutrality and the Future of Agriculture.
In this workshop, following presentations by three high school and technical college students on topics such as Japanese agriculture and food production—which will have a significant impact on our future—as well as carbon neutrality and the future of local communities, participants engaged in group discussions.
The workshop proved highly meaningful, with the students actively exchanging ideas and thoughtfully considering the future of agriculture.
