KAMIAOYAGI MODEL
Satoyama Materials Distribution Center
The part of the Kamiaoyagi Model that handles the flow of materials. We identify land suited to producing materials, and build a system that matches what can be harvested with what is needed.
As the population declines, the care of satoyama has stopped, and materials such as bamboo, thatch grass, rice straw and sawmill offcuts are left unused. Meanwhile there is work that needs them: repairing thatched roofs, improving soil in landscaping, mulching in organic farming. The center connects the two.
STEPS
How we work
- MapIdentify the latent material fields
- OrganizeSort out the uses and issues of each field
- Make materialsHarvest and process them, and use them to repair ridges and channels
- SpreadShape the model so other regions can use it
- Build a baseSet up a barn as a place to discuss and work
