Rice making, independent of agricultural chemicals and chemical fertilizers, using rice-ducks (cross between wild and a domestic ducks) and recycled paper multiple-farming method
"Kyosei no Daichi (symbiotic earth) Niigata 21, Ltd." is a professional farming group, devoted to growing rice in the rice-producing district of Niigata.
We raise the following 4 principles as our guidance to further develop Japanese rice making in the 21st century: |
|
|
・Harmony with nature
・Harmony with consumer
・Harmony with the elderly and the younger generations
・Harmony with the processing, distribution, and financial organizations
Moreover, this group is a nonprofit organization committed to producing safe organic rice. It was established by 14 members within Niigata prefecture on March 26, 1997.
Relying on the soil prepared by using organic matters and microbiological organism (such as rice-duck farming), we are devoted to making rice without the use of agricultural chemicals and chemical fertilizers. Each operation consists of a land of 5-30 ha for individual members, and 30-75 ha for corporate members, all of which are professionals with excellent skill. Every year, they participate in rice cropping study sessions and meet with other organizations to further polish their skills. The result is highly-praised by the "Affiliated Diet Modification Diffusion Party", the leading consumer movement with 40 years of experience in Niigata prefecture, and also by "Yamatane", a major wholesaler in Tokyo. |

| Furthermore, the nonprofit organization "Akatonbo", recognized as a private organic authentication organization by the recently amended JAS Law, is formed by the member of "Kyosei no Daichi Niigata 21, Ltd.", and is dedicated to promoting the authentication of rice-based organic farm products. |
