Understanding of a Stork and "Stork Rice Farming" by the "Stork Rice" Purchasers

Abstract

"Stork rice" is rice which is produced by natural farming methods in order to coexist with stork and natural surroundings. The purpose of this study is to examine how "Stork rice" purchasers concern about foods and environment on their daily basis and how they understand about natural history of storks and the farming methods by questionnaire survey. "Stork rice" purchasers relatively well concerned about foods and environment. And they understood about basic natural history of storks as well. But they did not sufficiently understand the system of farming methods to coexist natural surroundings.
