Vision
Self-production, Self-consumption = Grow & Consume Our Own Food
The Ideal Society MYFARM Strives for
Farming, once a fundamental part of survival, has gradually become separated from daily living. As times continue to change, the gap between people and farming keeps increasing.
MYFARM envisions a system that can rekindle excitement and awareness for this natural activity.
Farming offers the opportunity to experience the joy of cultivating crops. With this foundation in place, they aim to (a) establish an educational environment that deepens agricultural knowledge and (b) support producers and agricultural workers who strive to build a society rooted in nature-based knowledge.
A ‘self-production, self-consumption’ society that closes the gap between nature and people through farming-related activities that strengthen the community
