grew up at carbon stored farmland
New Concept
“Environmental Friendly”
（future merit for children)
After the concept of “safety”, ”relief” and “taste good”
(present merit for yourself)
Philosophical Approach (Backcasting)
Final GOAL
Sustainable supply of Water & Food
Tentative goal
Sustainable conservation of Regional Natural resources
“Landscape such as forest, mountain, river, sea, farmland”
Method
Agriculture with new concept which is
sustainable conservation of ecology
" ",
though consumer cares only “Safety” and “Taste good” of crops just now.
Examples of measuring category and index:
1)CO mitigation・・・① biochar using unused rural biomass,
2
② extension of dry period at paddy field
LCA-CO

③ compost・・・・
2)Degree of Bio diversity・・・contamination by chemicals?
3) ・・・・・・??
Philosophic conceptual approach (Why we have to do?)
Sustainable security of Water and Food supply
