This video was presented at the Institute for Strategic Leadership‘s “Carry On Fukushima” program in Tokyo on 7/21/11. It includes voices from food producers in the area around the still-leaking Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant:

• Ohashi may need to look outside Fukushima now for organic suppliers for his bread. He says we need to learn to coexist with radiation.
• Suzuki and Fukumoto are leaving the idyllic farming community of Kaidomari to live in balance with nature elsewhere.
• Hongo won’t sell his potentially contaminated rice this year, but he’s eating it himself.
• Yoshizawa wants to save his 300 irradiated dairy cows from a death sentence.
• Yamamoto was a farming intern when the disaster struck. She decided to stay and volunteer at an evacuation center.
• Yoshida is committed to stay and continue farming on the land his family has cultivated for 200 years.
