有機JAS認定資材の東京８を使った土壌の改良や農業生産の改善の現場の生の声を交流するイベントを2022年8月19日（金）と30日（火）の2回に分けて開催します。時間は何れも19時～21時。
30日のDAY2は、日本語での議論が活発にできるようなブレイクアウトルームも設定します。
東京８を使った途上国の農業支援についての現状を、実際にアフリカで栽培実験に参加してくれている複数の国から報告いただきます。
人口減少が課題の日本と違い、途上国では人口爆発と食料不足が叫ばれておりました。その中でのコロナ禍とウクライナ危機。食料輸送の停滞と肥料の高騰という中で、東京８への関心が一気に高まっております。
今回は、東京8を使った土壌の改良、農産物の栽培実験を現場からの発表を行います。
また東京８以外の土壌改良や農業生産性向上、または貧困撲滅や飢餓解消につながる手法や技術・アイデアにも広く発言の機会を提供し、幅広い議論とともに参加者にとっての良き情報収集の場を提供します。
19日は主に海外からの事例発表を中心にプログラムを構成し、30日は日本での成果報告を中心にプログラム致します。
当日発表・報告したい方も大歓迎。視聴のみの大歓迎です。Zoomを使ったウェビナーとして開催しますが、参加者のご意見もどしどしいただきながら会を進めます。
言語は英語と日本語。同時通訳（正確には事前に原稿の提出を受けて和訳した資料を参加者に配布します）で、開催しますので、英語が不案内な方のご参加も大丈夫です。
In the light of TICAD8, we are organizing an event geared toward the exchange of experience and opinion from using Tokyo8, an organic biofertilizer based on micro-organisms (has received the certification for use in Organic agriculture JAS in Japan).
Food security and soil health are important problems that are growing alongside the population. With the disruption of the distribution chain and the war in Ukraine, cereals and fertilizers are getting scarce or expensive. Tokyo8 aims to alleviate those issues with a biofertilizer that can be locally produced at a very low price. With a microfranchise business model and installations that are affordable/can be built anywhere with water, we aspire to revolutionize the usage of fertilizers in African countries and participate in the betterment of the society. This model could not have evolved this way without the participation and the input of ex ABE Initiative students and African exchange students and we hope it can involve further thanks to them.
It will soon be one year since our cooperation with people from various African countries has started, therefore we want to give a platform to express their voice to the ex ABE Initiative students that have agreed to use and explore the local production of Tokyo8 in their own countries in order to support small-holder farmers and local agriculture.
They will share their different experiences with the product and the local community. It will also cover their opinion and impression on Tokyo8 as well as how they used the biofertilizer and their projects with it.
The program will be :
The event is free and you can attend both days, documents will be provided in either Japanese or English.
This event will take place during the side event period of TICAD8, a Japanese government-led conference to be held in Tunisia on August 27th and 28th. We are still in the process of applying to make it an official event but we look for your participation regardless of the officialisation of the event.
