Yokohama Food and Agriculture Forum

Last Updated September 18, 2024

Since 2013, we have been conducting the "Yokohama Food and Agriculture Forum" to announce and exchange information on the relationship between food and agriculture in Motoichi and the possibilities and directions of new "agriculture".
Producers, businesses, and consumers who are actively promoting local production for local consumption in Yokohama will gather, learn, and think, which will lead to further enhancement of local production for local consumption.

We carried out the twelfth Yokohama food and agriculture forum "Yokohama farm x food education-learning of child through food and agriculture-"!

1. Date: August 23, 2024
2. Location: Yokohama City Hall 1F Citizen Collaboration Promotion Center Space AB
3. Participation capacity: 22 participants (including 22 panelists and facilitators)

●Group work can be talked to each other, but I feel like Ogire Dragonfly has become. I wanted to hear more about the activities.
●I was able to learn about new initiatives in the city and outside the city.
●The talk session was easy to understand and enjoyed.
●Is it held once a year? I'm glad if it's about six months.
