農業文化サポート

　農業は、近代までの日本文化の根底を支えてきたといっても過言ではないと考えています。太古の時代、狩猟採集の生活に農耕が導入されて以来、二千年以上もの長きにわたって生活の基盤を支えてきたのが農業だと言えるでしょう。

　しかし、明治の文明開化以降、急速な近代化に伴って産業構造が一変してしまい、ややもすれば、農業を排除するような政策が行われたりもしました。最近、ようやく食料自給率の低下が注目され、いざという時の国力を蓄えるためには、農業が重要であると見直されるようになってきました。しかし、後手となった感は否めず、その担い手の高齢化に伴って、農業の衰退は加速度的に進んでいます。

　日本人の文化の根底に息づく農業の支援を通して、日本文化の探求と保存の一助になりたいと考えています。

  It is thought that it is not an exaggeration to say that agriculture will have supported the basis of the Japanese culture to modern ages. It will be able to be said that it is agriculture to extend long and to have supported the base of life of 2,000 years or more after farming is introduced into the life of the hunting and gathering of the age of ancient times.

  However, the industrial structure changed completely along with a rapid modernization since the civilization and enlightenment at the Meiji era, it did a little, and the policy that excluded agriculture was done. Recently, when the decrease in the rate of food self-sufficiency is paid to attention at last, and agriculture is important to save the national power at the emergency, it has come to be reviewed. However, the decline of agriculture is advanced as the feeling that became the second mover cannot be spurned, and the supporter ages with accelerating speed.

  I want to become in the basis of a Japanese culture and to become the search for the Japanese culture and a help of preservation through the support of the agriculture that becomes lively.
