Solution

Founded in 2022 as a startup originating from Kyoto Prefectural University, Future Food R&D Center focuses on the development of rice cultivation technologies centered on “Kyo-no-Yume (Kyoto Dream),” a dwarf rice variety approximately 20 cm tall. This variety enables multi-layer and year-round cultivation in indoor facilities. Leveraging its suitability for grain production in plant factories, the company envisions food production in repurposed schools, vacant urban buildings, and arid regions. In addition, the company conducts research in environmentally sustainable agriculture and edible insects as core research themes, expanding into product development and consulting services. It also engages in the sale of Kyo-no-Yume seeds and related products, as well as contract research projects.
