What will happen to food and agriculture in the future? 100
children from all over Japan, together with their friends,
will consider the future issues of "food and
agriculture" and present to the world as "AgriKids
Action" for the future from here at the Expo.
Reports
【Reflection】
This time, Kubota disseminated from the Expo the actions taken
by 100 children who will lead the next generation, which has
been implemented since March 2025, for the future of food and
agriculture, and the important "keys" to create them
together with their friends. It was a place where opinions and
thoughts were deepened through the exchange of opinions with
experts, and it was a place where people could feel courage
and expectations for the future.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Kubota Corporation will archive this initiative on its website
and social media, and disseminate it not only in Japan but
also around the world through its own owned media.Kubota plans
to continue its efforts for the next generation even after the
Expo, and will continue to provide opportunities for
discussions and learning from many stakeholders on important
topics for a sustainable society, such as food and
agriculture, in an easy-to-understand manner.
