SDGs Hiroshima Yukicho Co-Creation Forest
– Forest with cow-living environment-
Together with Sagotani Farmer in Yukicho, Hiroshima, we are working on a co-creation project to nurture cow-living forest.
This co-creation project aims to contribute to carbon offsets by encouraging each and every employee to learn about the co-existence of humans and nature through tree-planting experiences.
SDGs Partnering
Project Overview
A part of the forest (target area 1500m2) in Sagotani Farmer (35ha)
will be established as the “F&P SDGs Hiroshima Yukicho Co-Creation Forest.”
-
1. Support for nurturing forests through tree planting
Assistance for growing forests through tree planting once a year by setting up “F&P SDGs Hiroshima Yukicho Co-Creation Forest” (1,500㎡) in Sagotani Farmer “Creation of Cow-living Forest”
-
2. Contributing to Carbon Offset through Forest Development
We requested Sagotani Farmer to construct “F&P SDGs Hiroshima Yukicho Co-Creation Forest” in “Creation of Cow-living Forest”. Through the development of forests in the F&P sponsored area, it will protect the wealth of land and contribute to CO2 absorption.
-
3. Goat weeding
Purchase of goats for permanent forest maintenance; use of goats for weeding maintenance
Learning about the coexistence of people and nature, nurturing people
to lead to the creation of a SDGs future
CO2 savings from tree planting
Tree-planting activities aimed at reducing CO2 emissions.
We will continue to work with Sagotani Farmers and our employees to nurture the plains of the area so that one day it will grow into a rich forest where cows can live and where people and nature can coexist.
We hope that these activities will contribute to the earth, society, and the future, and that they will be a step toward realizing a sustainable society.

By distributing dairy products produced through co-creation with Sagotani Farmer to employees and their families as a token of gratitude, we will share our SDGs efforts and share the blessings of nature.
To our employees and their families
The cold weather is getting deeper and deeper, and I hope everyone is doing well. Thank you for always devoting yourself to your work. I would also like to thank your family for supporting our employees.
As part of our SDGs activities, we have started a co-creation project to develop the Cow-living Forest together with Sagotani Farmer in Yukicho, Hiroshima.
“F&P SDGs Hiroshima Yukicho Co-Creation Forest” (1,500㎡) was established in “Creation of Cow-living Forest” of Sagotani Farmer, and the construction of the land was carried out since May this year, and the soil was digged by 15 employees and the first tree planting meeting was conducted in November.
In the future, we will plant trees once a year (from April to May next year) to create a forest over the next 20 years. We would like to create forests, contribute to the global environment, regenerate ecosystems together with cattle, and pass on the future of food to the next generation.
As a token of our gratitude to all F&P employees and their families who support their work, we will deliver dairy products created in collaboration with Sagotani Farmer.
I sincerely hope that you will take good care of your health in this cold weather.
Recent activities

April 2023
Second tree-planting meeting
The second tree-planting session was successfully completed on April 7-8. The second participating member took the lead in planting trees on the slopes, and after planting the trees, weeds were extracted to sow the seeds of the clover, which is the feed for cattle. This is a hard task, with many rounds and trips on the slopes in a row so that the seeds are rooted.
On the second day, we learned about the relationship between global warming and cattle and soil, and held a discussion on the theme of “F&P and climate change.” It was a good opportunity for us to understand and be aware of what we can do and the SDG activities that the company is working on.
The trees we planted last time are growing steadily, little by little, with their leaves changing color with the seasons. We would be happy if each of you could think a little about what you can do now for the earth when you receive your dairy products again this year.
