Children who eat Megumi rice in the agricultural city deliciously in Tamba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture

　All of the rice provided by school lunches (about 4100 meals) at all 33 schools in Tamba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture has been produced in a farming method that takes into account the natural environment recommended by the city. Is changed. The city of 9 farming groups will supply about 47 tons of this year. Megumi rice is a Koshihikari grown by making pesticides and chemical fertilizers less than half of the customary level and shifting the mid -dried season. We have been working since 2020. The first time used for school lunches at all schools, the first day of last year and the five days in October this year. I decided to use the entire amount after switching from this year. A tasting party was held by producers and stakeholders at Oyama Elementary School, with 22 people from 8 farming groups, Sasayama JA Sayama, Mayor Takaaki Sakai, and Masatoshi Tango. I tasted a menu including the United States. Hiroshi Tsuda, a Tsuji Agricultural Association, said, "I'm happy to be able to provide safe and secure rice safely. I want children to grow up and grow up." In the 5th grade classroom, Kazuya Takechu of the City Agricultural Capital Policy Division and Kaoru Mizobata of the Nishibuki Kyodo Agricultural Association are the same as "to shift the middle drying season, to wait for the tadpoles to become a frog." Explain the features of rice. The child said, "The more you bite, the more sweet and delicious."
