Food Innovation for Regional Sustainability in Tohoku (FIRST)

Food Innovation for Regional Sustainability in Tohoku (FIRST) was created in partnership with the TOMODACHI Initiative to be an investment in the future of food and farming innovation in Japan, with a particular focus on the Tohoku region. Run over three years (2015-2017) the program grew the leadership and cross-cultural skills within the next generation of Japanese (ages 35 and younger) who were committed to social innovation in the production, processing, distribution, and/or consumption of food in Japan.
