Jōharu Kondō's Exclusive!Good day!

"Rice Bowl Niigata: Agricultural Support Squad!" broadly introduces various aspects, focusing on the "voices" of everyone involved in agriculture. It covers the "present" of rice cultivation, the relationship between technology and agriculture, efforts in organic farming, and more, examining how agriculture can become "sustainable" environmentally, economically, and in terms of labor.
