理念
●人の歴史が始まって以来、人と人の争いは絶えず今日まで続いています。
私たち日本人の祖先縄文人は争う事を良しとせず、話し合うことで物事を
解決し文明を築いていました。和を以って貴して成す。
これに私たち日本人の日本人らしさ、アイデンティティがあるように思います。
●オーストラリアとの国際交流を通じて日本の次世代の米づくりの担い手を育てる
福島県いわき市と姉妹都市であるオーストラリアのタウンズビルに行き
日本の米づくりの場を開拓することで震災の影響で農業継続が困難になった
福島の農家の方々に、安全で快適な環境のもと夢を持って米づくりができる場
を築き自然の水のサイクルに則した日本の田んぼシステムの素晴らしさを、
田んぼアートとして完成させオーストラリアから世界へ発信し、
日本人品質（美味しさ、安全性）Made by Japaneseの米を手頃な価格で消費者に
提供することにより世界の日本食文化の向上発展に寄与する。
また、米づくりの重要性を感じ国際感覚を持ち日本に帰国後、
米づくりの担い手として活躍する人材を育成するプロジェクト。
●世のため、人のために働き、助けられて、恩返しをする
震災では到底想像することが出来ない壊滅的なダメージを受け多くの
命がなくなりました。そんな大打撃を受けた我々に世界各国の方々より
福島県へ義援金が集まってきました。中には1日の稼ぎが僅か1ドルの国
からの支えもありました。そんな尊い助けもあり今日の私たちがあります。
当プロジェクトでは将来的に生産されるお米の一部を寄与というかたちを
持って恩返しをさせて頂ければと考えております。
Philosophy
●Ever since the beginning of human history, there has been a constant struggle between people,
which continues to this day.
Our ancestors, the Jomon, did not believe in fighting.
The Jomon, our ancestors, did not believe in fighting,
but in talking things out and building a civilisation.
Harmony is the key to success.
I think this is what makes us Japanese and what gives us our identity.
●Fostering the next generation of Japanese rice growers through international exchange with Australia
We went to Townsville, Australia, which is a sister city of Iwaki City in Fukushima Prefecture.
By developing opportunities for rice production in Japan,
we will be able to help farmers in Fukushima who have had difficulty in continuing farming due to the earthquake.
The project will provide a safe and comfortable environment for farmers in Fukushima to grow rice with dreams.
We hope to create a place where farmers can grow rice with dreams in a safe and comfortable environment, and show the beauty of the Japanese rice field system, which is based on the natural water cycle.
We will complete the project as a piece of rice field art and send it from Australia to the world.
To provide Japanese quality (taste and safety) Made by Japanese rice to consumers at affordable prices.
By providing Japanese quality (delicious and safe) Made by Japanese rice to consumers at affordable prices, we will contribute to the improvement and development of Japanese food culture around the world.
We also hope that the students will feel the importance of rice production and have an international perspective.
The project also aims to develop human resources who will be active in rice production after returning to Japan.
●Working for the world and for others, being helped and giving back
The earthquake and tsunami caused devastating damage that is hard to imagine and many lives were lost.
Many lives were lost. People from all over the world have been donating to Fukushima to help us cope with the devastation.
We have received donations to Fukushima from people all over the world. Some of the donations came from countries where people earn only one dollar a day.
Some of the donations came from countries that earn only $1 a day. It is with this kind of support that we are able to be what we are today.
This project is a way of giving back by contributing a portion of the rice produced in the future.
