Currently, due to the merger of cities, towns and villages, Nakagawa Town and Hanoura Town have entered Anan City, and as a large-scale JA that spans 2 cities and 2 towns, it is a scale merit for stabilizing the lives of union members and local residents and establishing an agricultural base. We are developing aggressive business activities that make the best use of. Within the jurisdiction, “Community Supported Agriculture”, in which consumers participate in agricultural management, is drawing attention, based in the “Miharashinooka Aisai Square” in Tatsue Town, Komatsushima City. CSA is a mechanism in which producers and consumers cooperate and support each other through prepaid agricultural product contracts. It is said that it first started in the United States in the 1980s, and is now spreading worldwide, mainly in Europe and the United States. In addition, it has the characteristic that consumers participate in farm operations such as farm work and shipping work, and producers and consumers share management risks and are established by an equal relationship based on trust. CSA seems to be attracting attention and working on a new agricultural model that has various effects on the region, such as community formation and promotion of organic farming. This has the advantage that high value-added crops are produced according to consumer demand, and producers can obtain stable profits. The “JA East Tokushima CSA Promotion Council” has been launched to interact with consumers and producers, and it seems that they are aiming to ship agricultural products produced by CSA in the fall of 2022. The council was established in August 2021 by 25 people, including vegetable sommeliers, cooks, and producers, in an attempt to reflect the opinions of consumers in the operation of the Greeting Square.

The history of Ritsumeikan is that Kinmochi SAIONJI, a representative politician of modern Japan and an international person, set up a private school “Ritsumeikan” in the residence of Kyoto Gyoen in 1869, when he was 20 years old. The following year, Ritsumeikan was ordered to close the school by a detention order from a Daijo-kan absentee when he considered the students’ high talks to be dangerous, but he served as the secretary of Saizonoji. Kojuro Nakagawa, who sometimes inherited that spirit, established the night school “Kyoto Hosei School” for workers in 1900. This seems to be the beginning of Ritsumeikan as a school. Then, in 1913, Kyoto Hosei School Has inherited the name of “Ritsumeikan” with the consent of Saionji, and continues to this day. We have a partnership agreement for the purpose.
