2nd year #1 Workshop

The first workshop of the My Regenerative Journey, now in its second year, was held in Okito Town, Hokkaido, for two days on January 15-16th, 2025. Inspired by the first-year members and the workshop held last July, many members of the field crop and dairy farming communities in the Okhotsk region participated in the second year. In addition, we also had participants from two companies interested in regenerative agriculture.

At the beginning, Raymond said that this group is our group and it belongs to everyone, so he asked everyone to join with an open mind.

Regenerative agriculture is not just a farming method, it's a mindset rather than incorporating technology into conventional agriculture, we need to understand how nature works and how we can imitate nature in our agriculture. How can we farm by borrowing the power of our neighbors who live under the soil? Raymond has been studying and practicing the world's most cutting-edge regenerative agriculture for the past six years. If he were to describe regenerative agriculture in words, he would use two words: life and relationships. This time, the workshop was an opportunity to learn more about the life in the soil and its connections.
