Shota Morigami is a first-generation farmer in the Kyoto region, and the first Nuffield International Scholar from Japan. Shoto runs two agricultural operations: Agri Shonoya, a 12-hectare farm growing green onions with a staff of 20, and Kyonegi Samurai, an agribusiness focused on selling produce.
For his Nuffield International research, Shota will explore marketing all over the world. His intention is to focus on Japanese restaurants overseas, investigating how Japanese agriculture and foods are promoted and received globally.
This inaugural Nuffield International scholarship in Japan is supported by Norinchukin Bank.
Shota is a graduate of Nara Agricultural University. He and his wife have three children.
