On Friday, March 13, 2026, at the 3rd Symposium of the Economy and Living Environment Creation Platform for Agricultural, Mountainous, and Fishing Villages (hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries), our company representative, Taneda, will serve as moderator for the session “Impact × Agricultural, Mountainous, and Fishing Villages: Creating an Environment for Corporate Sustainability,” scheduled to begin at 14:10.
Last fiscal year, as part of regional revitalization efforts, the “Agricultural, Mountainous, and Fishing Village” Economy and Living Environment Creation Platform was launched. Taking this opportunity, specialized subcommittees and study groups were convened for each theme. We have collected reference cases, created guidelines, and examined new systems to advance project development. This symposium will introduce case studies and hold discussions on initiatives for solving regional challenges through public-private co-creation and creating value in agricultural, mountainous, and fishing villages.
