We welcomed more than 1,000 visitors this year, and the event concluded with great success. We sincerely appreciate everyone who joined us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Collaboration With Agricultural High Schools<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As in previous years, the event featured collaborative programs with agricultural high schools in Kagawa Prefecture, including&nbsp;<strong>Ishida High School, Kasada High School, and the Agricultural Management High School<\/strong>. Each school participated with panel exhibitions, product sales, rice cake demonstrations, cotton candy booths, and more. Teachers and many students joined the event, bringing youthful energy and drawing strong attention from visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Laboratory Exhibitions and Hands-On Activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To help not only high school students but also elementary and junior high school students, as well as local residents, learn more about the research conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, laboratories held&nbsp;<strong>research presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and workshops<\/strong>. Many visitors showed great interest, listening attentively to explanations provided by faculty and students and asking thoughtful questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>International Exchange Programs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Faculty of Agriculture has a long history of promoting international exchange. Our international students continue to learn and live safely with support from the regional community. As a venue for community engagement, we hosted an&nbsp;<strong>International Student Exchange Salon<\/strong>, featuring cultural introductions and sampling of traditional drinks from students\u2019 home countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the overseas study program report session, students who participated in the&nbsp;<strong>International Applied Science Program II (SV-HUST) at Hanoi University of Science and Technology in Vietnam<\/strong>&nbsp;presented their experiences, along with cultural and historical insights. Many junior high school students, particularly from the English Club (ESS) of Miki Junior High School, attended the session and actively interacted with international students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Student-Led Projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several student groups operated activity booths, all of which attracted large numbers of visitors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tanada no Kai<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Introduction of terraced rice field activities in Nakayama, Shodoshima + rice ball tasting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Natural Science Club<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Workshop in collaboration with the Acorn Network<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ASUS<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Food tasting using rare sugars; members also managed event reception, distributed pamphlets, and greeted guests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These student-led initiatives added energy to the festival and highlighted student leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sales Booths &amp; Interactive Events<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The sale of agricultural products from the university farm and flowers and vegetables by alumni from Ikedo-kai again drew long lines. At the&nbsp;<strong>Animal Interaction Corner<\/strong>, children enjoyed meeting rabbits and other small animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>First Public Release of \u201cKODAI Minori Pork\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s festival marked the&nbsp;<strong>first public release of \u201cKODAI Minori Pork,\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;a new brand pork produced by the University Farm. With cooperation from the Kagawa University Co-op, pork cutlet lunch boxes and skewers were sold\u2014and sold out immediately after sales began. We apologize to those who were unable to purchase items due to limited quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginning November 4, the&nbsp;<strong>\u201cKODAI Minori Pork Tonkatsu Set Meal\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;has been available in limited quantities at the&nbsp;<em>Restaurant Olive<\/em>&nbsp;in the Kagawa University Hospital cafeteria. This batch of pork was raised on peach feed, resulting in a light and clean fat profile. Future batches raised on grape feed are expected to feature subtle sweetness and aroma. We look forward to your continued interest in these initiatives from the University Farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the cooperation of all participants and partners, the&nbsp;<strong>Open Campus &amp; Harvest Festival 2025<\/strong>&nbsp;was highly successful and fruitful. We sincerely appreciate your support and look forward to continuing our efforts in education, research, and international collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
