AGBIOTECH Inc. and the NPO Earth Literacy Program (ELP) hosted the 'Earth Food Museum 2026 — Redesigning the Future of Food' from May 9 (Saturday) to May 10 (Sunday), 2026, at the International Resort Hotel Yurakujo in Narita, Chiba Prefecture.
This exhibition is an event that rethinks what true food and agriculture, which are 'good for both people and the planet,' should look like. It addressed global challenges such as climate change and food crises by integrating traditional Japanese 'food wisdom' with cutting-edge solutions, offering hope for the future.
## [Event Highlights]
1. Visualization with the World's First Digital Globe, 'Sphere'
Using the 'Sphere,' the world's first digital globe that visualizes the living earth, the exhibition explored the future of Japanese food and the challenges and hopes surrounding food from a 'planetary perspective.'
2. 'Past, Present, and Future' Covered in Themed Exhibition Zones
- Zone 1: Rediscovering Japanese Food and Agriculture 'Traditions'
Japanese food, currently attracting global attention as the 'OS for the future of food.' We re-examined our foundation from a 'planetary perspective' through the magic of 'fermentation' gathered from across the country and the roots of Japanese food found in Eurasia.
- Zone 2: What is Happening on Earth Now?
Addressing the paradox where food and agriculture, meant to nourish life, now threaten human and planetary life. Using a live digital globe, we visualized the links between global warming, waste problems, and our dining tables.
- Zone 3: Toward Redesigning 'Earth Food'
We proposed numerous concrete solutions, including rice resilient to disasters and climate change, groundbreaking technologies to turn waste and human excrement into resources, CO₂-fixing sphagnum moss, a new dimension of 'gut health' (intestinal activity), and the future of home gardening.
3. Talk Shows by Distinguished Guests
Talk sessions were held featuring key people pioneering the future, including Mr. Murakami, Consumer Business Manager at Cykinso Inc.; Professor Takemura of Kyoto University of Art and Design; and Mr. Hoshino, Chairman of AGBIOTECH.
4. Farmland Training: Learning the Frontlines of 'Earth Food'
This was the first farmland visit program to experience how the food solutions proposed in the exhibition are practiced in the field. We visited the farm of 'Athlete Farmer Junjun' in Narita, Chiba, learning sustainable food and agricultural wisdom required for the climate change era through all five senses.
