New Possibilities in Rural Japan, Regenerative Farming & Rural Italy Comparisons | Simona Zollet

Simona Zollet is originally from Italy and is now a researcher and educator at Hiroshima university who is focused on rural areas around the Chugoku-Shikoku areas of Japan.

Here we talk about some of Simona's insights about successful case studies that she has found in small rural communities and interesting similarities and differences in comparison between what is happening in Japan and Italy. Simona is particularly interested in entrepreneurship and regenerative agriculture projects as examples of sustainable success.

Simona Zollet is one of the speakers at the "Women to Inspire a Sustainable Japan" event in Mitarai, Hiroshima on May 14th (join us!) here she talks about her research with regenerative agriculture and entrepreneurship in rural Japan.

Simona has such a deep knowledge of rural community development and regenerative agriculture - so wonderful to have her here on the talkshow but also to take part in the Women Inspire event in Mitarai where she had done so many wonderful projects as well - I learn a lot each time I talk with Simona!
