SDGs Action Workshop #66

— Rice Harvesting (Pesticide-Free Rice Farming) —
Experience the nature of OZO as you fully engage in rice harvesting and drying, enjoying it with all your senses!

As part of our SDGs activities, Peace & Nature is bringing new life to fallow rice fields by growing rice without relying on chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Join us in the great outdoors to harvest rice that has thrived under the warm embrace of the sun! It’s not just about the harvest—there’s also a chance to try your hand at bamboo cutting as we care for the bamboo grove next to the terraced rice fields. We can’t wait to share this fun and fulfilling experience with you! [SDGs No.2, 4, 6, 11, 12, 15, 17]
