In the Aso district of Kumamoto Prefecture, about 23,000 hectares of grassland has been managed under a new system.
Professor Makoto Sato from Kumamoto University, who initiated the movement, holds a view that it is natural for urban people, who have enjoyed the benefits of grasslands as visitors, to help farmers, if the latter lack the ability to cope.
That is because “annual visits made to Aso by 18 million people seeking peace of mind is undoubtedly attributable to the nature which has been preserved through local people's efforts over several thousands of years to keep the grassland in good shape.”
