The goal of this project is to evaluate the viability of an organic recycling system centered in Aisho Town. In addition to this, we hope to foster the development of organic farming through the implementation of a facility. We aim to gain a deeper understanding of the current organic presence in Aisho Town in order to best support the needs of organic farmers. Through interviews with organic farmers and sustainable companies, we gathered information on current organic presence and practices in Shiga prefecture. In partnership with our sponsor, Miyoko Kuzutani, our group outlined two plausible organic recycling methods: static pile composting and a mini biogas plant. With this added information we hope to support our sponsor in her goal to supply organic farmers with safe and environmentally friendly farming materials.
