Since 2006, as an initiative to promote the use of agricultural and livestock products produced in the city for school lunches, we have been supplying vegetables from the city to all elementary schools and special support schools in the city during local production and local consumption month in November. . The use of agricultural and livestock products produced in the city for school lunches is an opportunity for elementary school studenｔ to learn about the area through ingredients and deepen their knowledge of local culture and history. This project is being implemented in cooperation with the Yokohama Agricultural Cooperative, the Yokohama School Food Education Foundation, City of Yokohama, Board of Education Secretariat, and the Green Environment Bureau.
