■What   is   the   tomato   study   abroad?

This  is  a  Study  in  order  to  learn  about  tomatoes.I  go  to  countries  that  related  to  the  tomato.To  go  to  Latin  America  as  a  place  of  origin  of  wild  species  tomato  to  search  an  environmental  growth  ,  to  go  to  the  Europe  region  to  learn  about  The  food  culture  on  tomatoes  and  Tomato  cultivation  technics  state-‐‑‒of-‐‑‒the-‐‑‒artIʼ’m  planning  about  10  months  period.

■introduce   the   joining   students

Yoji  NakajimaI  was  born  in  Hokkaido  Japan  in  1982.After  graduating  from  agricultural  high  school,  to  learn  farming  techniques,  I  went  to  a  professional  school  of  horticulture.I  interested  to  beautiful  appearance  of  the  leaves,  stems  and  bright  red  fruit  of  tomatoes  while  in  the  school.After  that,  I  joined  the  national  seed  company,  and  through  the  cultivation  works  of  various  vegetables  as  a  researcher,  to  know  beauty  and  appearance  that  grow  with  the  tomato,  the  fun  to  grow,  so  I  falled  in  love  with  tomatoes.I  was  independent  from  2013,  I  do  some    lectures  with  a  focus  on  content  only  tomatoes,  the  tomato  study  abroad,and    for  the  opening  of  the  tourist  farm  to  learn,and  etc..Iʼ’m    on  the  way  of  the  new  agriculture  as  Tomatist.

Thank  you!!

I  go  to  Spanish  school  professional  targeting  foreigners,  and  taking  the  lessons  of  5  hours  a  day.And  I  do  a  homestay,  I  connect  to  Learn  Spanish  through  daily  life  as  well  after  class.
