Message from Lively

For our 5th interview, we spoke with Hiroki Inoue, who is not only exploring new forms of agriculture through no-till farming but also pursues a wide range of challenges, including raising hens and honey bees, producing artisanal seasonings, and creating a universally accessible farm.

On Sunday, October 19, 2025, Niko Niko Farm and Lively co-hosted a regenerative agriculture seed-sowing program. Through the experience of sowing seeds and sharing a meal made from the farm’s bounty, we created a place for people to reflect on the nature of food. We deeply resonate with Niko Niko Farm’s philosophy and their goal of building a universal farm where anyone can engage with nature, and we look forward to hosting more collaborative events in the future.

We highly recommend this interview to anyone involved in agriculture, as well as those interested in regenerative farming. For more details, please see the full article here.
