overview
This event is aimed at people who are interested in agriculture and would like to make it their career.We hope to convey the appeal of agriculture as a career and encourage them to take the first step toward making agriculture their career. The event will be held under the auspices of the Consortium for Promoting the Attractions of Agriculture. The Consortium for Promoting the Attractiveness of Agriculture was established by nine companies that serve as points of contact between producers and consumers, utilizing the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries’ subsidized project “Support Project for Promoting the Attractiveness of Agriculture.” This consortium introduces farmers who are the aspirations and goals of young people as “role model farmers,” and through events where farmers and participants collaborate to plan agriculture-related projects, agricultural experience events for students, etc. We are disseminating the appeal of agriculture as a profession. On the day of the event, 10 role model farmers who are attracting attention from companies participating in the consortium will gather for a talk session to think about agriculture and the future of agriculture from a management perspective, as well as a matching booth where participants and role model farmers can interact. I am.

Event participant introduction
From among the approximately 130 role model farmers, we will invite 10 people of interest to the consortium companies to be guests as “favorite farmers.” It will be an opportunity for participants to find their “favorite farmer” among those who are working on a wide variety of initiatives, such as changing jobs from other industries, regional revitalization, and expanding sales channels, and it will also be a first step toward turning agriculture into a career. We hope this will serve as an opportunity for you to take the next step.
