Plantio's Vision for the Future of Agriculture at GREEN×EXPO 2027

The 2027 International Horticultural Exposition, known as GREEN×EXPO 2027, is on the horizon, and the innovative social impact startup Plantio Co., Ltd., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, is excited to announce its participation as an exhibitor showcasing flowers and greenery. Together with CLASS EARTH Co., Ltd., also located in Tokyo, this collaboration aims to bolster public interest in agriculture and greening initiatives.

Bridging the Gap Between Food and Agriculture Through Technology

In our everyday lives, food consumption is intricately linked to the natural cycles of soil and life. Unfortunately, urban living often makes it challenging to recognize this connection. Plantio is committed to creating environments where children can engage in hands-on experiences, connecting with nature while learning how to protect our planet as active participants in the story of Earth.

Utilizing Digital Technology for Interactive Learning

At the forefront of this initiative is Plantio's digital cultivation guide, “grow.” By utilizing sensors buried in the soil, the system collects vital environmental data, such as sunlight exposure and soil moisture levels. The accompanying app provides real-time guidance, alerting users when plants need watering or when it's time to thin seedlings. This blend of technology with an experiential learning approach fosters a deeper sensitivity towards life in children, engaging them in continuous dialogue with nature and promoting their understanding of ecological systems.

Reviving Endangered Vegetables Through Community Engagement

Central to the project is the cultivation of traditional local crops, known as
