Practicing symbiotic agriculture and living in harmony with the environment
Yamazaki runs a farm in Tsunagi Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, a town with a strong understanding of organic farming and natural cultivation.
Children's reactions
"I started growing vegetables at home, but I wanted as many people as possible to enjoy them, so I started selling them at nearby roadside stations. When I gave some carrots to nursery school children to eat, I was so moved by the sight of them gobbling them down that I felt I had to keep doing my best for the sake of these children too."
It was around this time that the town of Tsunagi began promoting natural farming as an administrative unit, and it was there that the town first became aware of natural farming and decided to switch to it.
The feeling of being in between
"Tsunaki Town has mountains and sea. We are allowed to farm in the middle of the two.
Rain falls, and after decades of filtering, the water turns into rivers and flows into the ocean. On the way, various substances dissolve in the water and flow into the ocean. Depending on the type of agriculture we choose, we can make our fields clean and our oceans clean and rich.
Yamazaki says he would like it to be called symbiotic agriculture.
They invite children to the fields to play and experience harvesting together, and they also ship carrots to local nursery schools. They are serious about farming and cherish their connections with the community.
