【Total Users Surpass 200,000!】The Agriculture, Food, and Community Building Database "Rural Digital Library" Celebrates its 30th Anniversary! Various Discounts and Commemorative Seminars to be Held

The "Rural Digital Library," a specialized database for agriculture, food, and community building operated by the Rural Culture Association (abbreviation: Noubunkyo, Chairman: Masahiro Kusumoto, Headquarters: Toda City, Saitama Prefecture), will celebrate its 30th anniversary since its service launch in April 1996. To commemorate this, we will extend the free trial plan period from the usual 7 days to 30 days, and offer benefits such as discounts on Noubunkyo-sponsored seminars and invitations to commemorative seminars for free trial members and paid individual members.

Furthermore, in January 2027, we are planning a site renewal for the individual version of the Rural Digital Library, aiming for a more user-friendly service.

We will continue to evolve as a platform to make agriculture more enjoyable and convenient.
