Abstract
In deadlock with an uncertain future, the number of suicides in Japan exceeded 30,000 for the first time in 1998. After that for 14 years in a row until 2011, the figure has stayed the same. Although the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has considered this problem an important subject and tried to take appropriate measures, the expected results have not yet been realized. During this time, I chanced to see mentally disordered workers enduring long-time agricultural work, and the idea of utilizing agricultural experiences to improve mental health flashed into my mind. I was wondering if earth, agricultural work and being surrounded by nature have the power to rejuvenate people. Change your environment or look back over the past and you can find what you have really wanted. Through this therapy, various effects have been proven. It may be the interactive training which produces outstanding effects simply by changing the environment a little in a short period of time.
