SDG Action Workshop #48
Observing living creatures & planting rice without pesticides!
Let’s observe living creatures in OZO, full of nature!
Taste rice planting with all five senses!
Peace & Nature is working on rice production without relying on chemical fertilizers and pesticides by rehabilitating fallow land. This time, we are going to observe the living creatures in and around the rice paddies in OZO-cho, a town full of nature. What kind of creatures live there? Are there any rare species living there? Please experience “rice paddies nurture living things” (biodiversity conservation) in the midst of nature. We look forward to your participation.
