Attractive Ehime Project～Think about the future from possibility of agriculture～
Motivation for research

When we think about our local Ehime, we feel vulnerability of agriculture in Ehime ,which produces our food although
it is essential in life. We try to analyze the present situations from data, discover problems and research solutions.

ProblemEither cultivated area and production
have mostly kept decreasing since1972. We should increase area ofcultivation（Problem:A）to develop
the rate of self-sufficient in food inEhime.

Prodoction of fruit is large.Butproduction of vegetables is a small .
So , we should produce various
vegetables in older not to depend tomuch on fruit.（Problem:B）

You can realize the decline andaging in farmer from this data. We
should hold down the first costs foryoung people to be easy to getengaged in agriculture(Problem:C)
also for the sustainable agriculture.

Compared with national
average, aging of Ehime isgetting worse. Improvementby the positive
administration(Problem:D) isneeded.

Although we can see big improvement in comparison withthe previous year, in terms of public institution, it is notenough about employment rate of disabled. We want toprogress employment of disabled(Problem:E) by
making their working environment improved.

Suggestions for solutions

To Solve The Problems by Promoting Hydroponic culture for Agricultural Normalization
Advantages in hydroponic culture cultivation

Concrete proposal１
Constriction of hydroponic culture factory by
public organization
Concrete proposal２
Cultivation and research by public workers
Problem:ＤSolution

１：Constriction of hydroponic
culture factory by publicorganization
We make their work environment
improved by building hydroponic
culture factory and planning
Normalization

Establish condition of factory
Three conditions① The place where has a low-cost of watercharges② The place where is easy to be obtained
the land③ The place where lead to progress
employment of ​ the disabled

２：Cultivation・Research by public workers
Cultivation : Stable supply of various crops
Research： easy to offer the information
by researching in public organization（≒Ehime Prefecture The Ministry Of Agriculture ,Forestry And Fisheries Laboratory）

・easy to repair
・temperature of water hardly change
・grown up is fast・quality of cops are stabilized
・initial cost can be saved
・sanitary management is easy because cops
are rarely damaged from insects or disease・easy to work and adjust height of stands

Be expected to increase young people ​byimproving something like environment
Be expected active employment of disabled
increase area of cultivation

The employment retention of
disabled is low

0We think what we need to continue is・introduction of long-term
internship・ employment in familiar place
Created from each municipality website

We suggest near Prefectural Niihama special Needs School!
If track the record is got ready in Niihama, we will think spread to other special needs
schools such as Uwa Special Needs School (Seiyo City) ,and Shigeobu Special Needs
School and Minara Special Needs School.

Lead to the production of various vegetables and local
production for local consumption can be realized
