Martin J Frid’s Kurashi blog has a great round-up of Japanese farmers’ blogs. The post notes how some farmers are young and online, and discusses the potential for city people to use technology to become more connected with the people who are growing their food. Bloggers include a Hokkaido fruit farmer, an Okinawa papaya farmer, rice and soy farmers. Some are making videos and using Twitter. As more of us want to know about who and how are food is produced, technology seems like a great way to bridge the country and city divide.
