★Invited Papers
Keywords:Iitate Village, agriculture, reborn
In Iitate Village where all villagers were evacuated due to the accident of TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, evacuation order were canceled in March 2017 except for some areas. Because of lack of living environment and anxiety about radioactivity in the environment, the number of people who actually settle in Iitate village is less than 10%. However, the Iitate Village Office has proposed four agricultural plans (For protecting agricultural lands, For fun-to -live, For livelihood, For challenging new agriculture) according to the wishes of farmers, and is striving for the revival of "agriculture". In this presentation, I will introduce such efforts.
