CLASS EARTH Co., Ltd. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) and Plantio Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) are jointly launching a new agri-food education program that links the cloud-based distributed agri-food infrastructure "grow" with the nature education "Earth Saver Project."
This project is an initiative to build momentum leading up to the "2027 International Horticultural Exhibition (GREEN x EXPO 2027)" to be held in Yokohama.
### Part 1: Kick-off Workshop Held
The first workshop will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
Children will make their own planters using bamboo harvested from abandoned bamboo forests in the Kanto region. They will then sow seeds of "Endangered Vegetables™," native varieties that have supported the local ecosystem. The aim is to sow "seeds for the next generation" harvested from the planted vegetables at the opening of the 2027 International Horticultural Exhibition, making it a long-term, process-oriented learning program.
**< Features of the "New Agri-Food Experience" Provided by the Project >**
**1. Fostering "Sensitivity to Life" Through Technology**
Using Plantio's digital cultivation guide "grow," the app will navigate the plant's status based on data measured by soil sensors, such as "needs water" or "time to thin." The experience of noticing subtle changes in plants through data cultivates a reverence for life in children.
**2. The Meaning of Growing "Endangered Vegetables™"**
We will grow "native varieties" that have coexisted with the local climate, insects, and birds, rather than uniform commercially distributed vegetables. Through the grow app, the connection between one's pot and the local nature will be visualized, implementing the concept of "commons" that satoyama once possessed into modern urban life.
**3. Creation of "Next-Generation Leaders" Who Will Change the Future**
We aim to nurture leaders who not only possess gardening knowledge but can also logically grasp the impact of their actions on the global environment while skillfully using technology.
### Part 2: Invitation to Media and Co-Creation Partner Briefing
Following the workshop, we will hold a partnership briefing for companies and organizations that resonate with the project's philosophy, presenting ways to achieve nature positivity and co-creation leading up to the 2027 International Horticultural Exhibition.
We will announce our future outlook on how the latest technology and education will be fused and what impact will be generated towards 2027.
Furthermore, on the day, it will be possible not only to attend the briefing but also to observe and photograph the workshop taking place from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
