SUGi Talks 🌿 EP04: The Miyawaki Method: A brief history of life-saving forests with Professor (Dr) Kazue Fujiwara

In the 1970s, Japan was undergoing an industrial boom. As the skies filled with smog and pollution soared, public health became a grave concern.

In response, ⁠Professor (Dr) Akira Miyawaki⁠ turned to native forests. Understanding their power in mitigating pollution and natural disasters, he developed The Miyawaki Method as a means to rapidly build dense biodiverse forests.

Professor (Dr) Kazue Fujiwara was instrumental in the development of the Miyawaki Method, collaborating closely with Miyawaki right up until he retired. Today she is a vital guardian of the method, traveling the world educating people about the power of Miyawaki forests.

On this episode, we dive into the history of the method and understand just how exactly these robust forests can protect life.

Thank you, Professor (Dr) Kazue Fujiwara.
