Last summer, we introduced a crowdfunding campaign by Kirishima Bio Farm, a client of Setsu who grows and sells tomatoes without using chemical fertilizers or pesticides. We would like to thank you again for the many people who supported their project. Thank you very much.
Now that they have finally obtained "Organic JA Certification," there will be more opportunities to see Kirishima Bio Farm's organic tomatoes in stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and other regions in Japan! If you live in Japan please give it a try! They are very tasty.
What do you think of when you hear the word "organic"?
Why do you choose organic foods?
Until a few years ago, I used to choose organic vegetables solely because they are good for "my health."
And that is true.
For example...
・They are safe to eat because fewer chemically synthesized pesticides or fertilizers are used.
・Organically grown vegetables are more nutritious than those grown by conventional methods.
・While personal tastes vary, the flavors are rich and delicious!
But that's not all.
It is also good for the earth, too.
Continued use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers causes the soil to lose nutrients and eventually makes it impossible to produce crops.
It also pollutes nature, such as rivers and oceans, endangering the lives of the animals and plants that inhabit there.
However, with organic farming...
・The balance can be maintained without destroying the soil's natural nutrients and microorganisms.
・The rivers and oceans, as well as the animals and plants that inhabit them, are protected from pollution and the ecosystem is preserved.
・Protect farmers from health risks caused by pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Choosing organic food is a way to "make the earth a heavenly place".
Kirishima Bio Farm believes in "farming in harmony with nature" by checking each of its more than 4,000 tomato plants for pests and making use of natural enemy insects and organic microorganisms.
Organic farming requires more time and effort than conventional farming.
Noboru Sugiyama, the owner of the company, says, "I am enjoying growing tomatoes.
The energy of "joy" goes around.
When good energy is produced and we take it in and produce good energy, a cycle of good energy occurs.
In our bodies, in our minds, in nature and animals, and in the entire planet.
When we have a choice, let's choose organic.
For our own health and for the health of the planet!

昨年の夏、Setsuのクライアントさんで、
この度ついに、「有機JA認証」を取得することができ、
ところでみなさんは「オーガニック（有機）」
なぜオーガニックの食材を選びますか？
私は個人的に、数年前まで「体に良いから」
それはそのとおりなんです。
たとえば…
・
・オーガニックで栽培された野菜は、
・個人の好みの差はあるものの、味は濃くておいしい！
などなど…でもそれだけじゃないんです。
地球にも良いのです。
農薬や化学肥料を使い続けることによって、土は栄養分を失い、
しかし、有機栽培であれば…
・土が本来持っている栄養素や微生物などを破壊することなく、
・川や海、そこに生息する動物や植物を汚染から守り、
・生産者である農家の方々を、
など、オーガニックを選択することは、「地球を天国にする」
霧島ビオファームさんでは、
オーガニック栽培は従来の慣行農法よりも手間と時間がかかります
私たちが想像できる以上のご苦労もあるようですが、代表の杉山 昇さんは「楽しくトマト栽培を続けることができています」
その「楽しい」というエネルギーは巡ります。
エネルギーが良いものが生産されて、それを取り入れて、
私たちの体に、心に、自然や動物に、地球全体に。
選択できるとき、オーガニックを選んでみてください。
自分の健康のためにも、地球の健康のためにも！
