Notes: | After the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, over 25,000 hectares of farmland were contaminated. Environmental technology specialists from METER together with Dr. Masaru Mizoguchi from The University of Tokyo and the NPO Fukushima Saisei, developed a sustainable decontamination method that allows farmers to grow perfectly safe rice again. However, people would not to buy the rice, because they failed to understand the scientific data behind the method. Made in Fukushima is a book made out of rice straw from the decontaminated fields in Fukushima. It helps people understand the decontamination, by turning the rice into the medium and the data into understanding. To tell the story, the book uses a wide range of resources: photography, interviews, reports, background information, data and its visualization. By turning the complex data into a more comprehensive form, decision makers in the environment and food industries could understand the proven decontamination method. From this and PR, over 500 follow ups and 20 million contacts as well as new business were generated. Today, the price of Fukushima rice is on the rise. |
