Explore the Current Trends in Wild Game: National Seminars Across Japan

Dive into the World of Wild Game

The constant threat posed by wild animals such as deer and boars to agriculture has necessitated urgent action across Japan. To address these challenges, Issei Eco Co., Ltd. is organizing the “Gibier Full Understanding Seminar” to share knowledge aimed at effective countermeasures while promoting the utilization of captured wildlife as regional resources. This seminar promises to equip participants with practical skills from humane animal processing to developing meat-related businesses.

Seminar Background

Japan has been facing an increasing crisis due to wildlife damage in agriculture, particularly from deer and boars. The need for effective countermeasures, including wildlife capture, is critical for sustainability. Recognizing this, Issei Eco Co., Ltd. has initiated seminars across several regions to train participants on how to use captured wildlife effectively.

This seminar will cover fundamental skills for hygienically processing captured animals, principles for operating a meat business, and an overview of all processes from capture to distribution and sale. Our aim is to not only impart knowledge but also empower participants to apply these skills to their business plans and community efforts.

This initiative welcomes a diverse audience including those who are new to the wild game business, those already involved, and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge. The seminars provide a fantastic opportunity to contemplate and implement the potential of wild game.

Seminar Overview

Seminars will be held nationwide, spanning one to two days each. The seminar will feature:

- Experienced speakers who are active across the country, offering close interactions and immediate responses to participant questions.
- A variety of contents tailored for those starting their journey in the wild game sector and those looking to deepen their existing knowledge.
