In the Yumechikara Cultivation Research Program, Yumechikara, a domestic wheat variety born in Hokkaido, will be grown in planters at schools to observe its growth, analyze data, conduct experiments, and research optimal cultivation methods in order to grow high-quality wheat with high yield and protein content.
\nThrough research and the experience of making food for yourself and another person other than yourself, the program is designed to make you aware of where the food you eat every day comes from, by whom, and how it was made, and to discover yourself living in connection with others.<\/p>\n
