2026年8月21日
On Saturday, August 8th, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology held the "GREEN NOKO - TUAT Glocal Agri - Food Project -" at the Fuchu Campus.
GREEN NOKO is a student-led project aimed at connecting universities, local communities, and the world through the lens of "food and agriculture," aiming to learn about food and agriculture, get to know the local community, and the world. Centered around Akari Sano (1st year master's student in the Graduate School of Agriculture Biological Production Science Program) and Miyuki Fuwa (3rd year Faculty of Agriculture Department of Ecoregion Science), student organizations such as TUAT Agricultural Support Team, Buddy Club, and Nokosumaito planned and operated the project.
On the day of the event, more than 150 people participated, including students and faculty members of our university, local residents, high school and university students, and people interested in food and agriculture.
The venue featured exhibitions, presentations, and exchange programs themed around "food and agriculture," including introductions to university research and student activities, presentations on local and high school initiatives, and introductions to food cultures from around the world by international students. With the keywords "Seeing the world from the local dinner table, and reconsidering the local area from the world's dinner table," various encounters and dialogues centered on food and agriculture transcended generations, positions, and nationalities.
Furthermore, this event provided an opportunity to consider and experience the future envisioned by GREEN×EXPO from the familiar perspective of local food and agriculture. It became a glocal learning and exchange space where we could reflect on the environment, culture, community development, and sustainable future that lie beyond food and agriculture.
We will ensure that the new connections forged through GREEN NOKO—between the university, the local community, and the world—are not merely fleeting, but are instead used to fuel future activities.
