Henry Luce Foundation Initiative on Asia and the Environment and Asian Studies Presents

Biodynamic Agriculture in Japan

Sophia Farm Community (SFC) was founded in Honbetsu, Hokkaido, as one of Japan’s first biodynamic farms. Founders Ben and Konomi Campbell will discuss sustainable food production and ethical practices, their model for community-supported agriculture, and the holistic principles of biodynamic agriculture on which their farm is based.

Ben Campbell, originally from Virginia, moved to Japan with his wife Konomi in 2008 and started SFC; he is now one of the managing directors of the Biodynamic Agriculture Association of Japan. Konomi Campbell, originally from Yokohama, Japan, studied at Steiner College and helped to establish the Hibiki-no-Mura collective before cofounding SFC.
