okaeri yasai おかえりやさい
"Welcome home, vegetables!"


A recycling project from the city of Nagoya, started in 2008.

Food leftovers from supermarkets in the city are collected and made to compost at Bio Plaza Nagoya.
The compost is used on fields of group members to produce vegetables.
Chives, bean sprouts, onions and many more are grown in this way.

Local schools also get the vegetables for their school lunch and as education material for the children.


Okaeri nasai お帰りなさい

this is the normal greeting for a person coming back home.
