Our Farm
Hikari Foods' Organic Farms
Japan's agriculture is in crisis. Some of Hikari Foods' contract farmers are also facing problems, such as aging family members.
Organic JAS-certified fruits and vegetables from Japan are safe, but hard to obtain. In order to ensure their continued supply into the future, we have decided to grow our own organic fruits and vegetables and use them as part of our raw materials. Doing so will provide a reliable means of sourcing them.
We obtained organic JAS certification for the experimental farms in our factory in 2001, and have grown organic tomatoes, lemons, and yuzu, sudachi, and yuko citruses there.
Since 2006, we have been borrowing farmland in the prefecture and making further efforts to ensure that organic raw materials are always available.
With the amount of abandoned farmland increasing, we hope to contribute as much as we possibly can to preserving it as agricultural land, and promoting eco-friendly agriculture.
We also ask local welfare facilities to assist in farming as part of our efforts to promote cooperation between agriculture and welfare organizations.
日本的農業現正處於非常嚴竣的狀況。在光食品的簽約合作的農家裡﹐也有面臨高齡化等的問題。
光食品為確保日後都能使用安心、安全且珍貴的日本產有機JAS認證蔬果，自家栽培有機蔬果作為產品的部分原料。
2001年，工廠內的實驗農地獲有機JAS認證，至今栽培著過有機蕃茄、檸檬、柚子、酢橘、柚柑等。
2006年起借用德島縣內的農地，為切實確保有機原料方面投入更多資源。
廢棄耕地有增無減，光食品希望能為農地的保養、維持生態平衡及不會對環境造成負荷的農業作能力範圍內最大的貢獻。
此外，光食品也向在地的社會褔利設施申請農務協作，以推進農業與褔利設施間的互助。
