The latest in responsible farming and, by extention, consumerism: making the identity of the farmer visible. These Tochiotome strawberries, strawberries from Tochigi prefecture that are known for their large berries, are from Nobuyuki Ninomiya-san's farm.
When I lived in Dublin during the bird flu scare a couple years ago, I saw similar practices. Supermarket chickens were labeled with stickers informing the buyer of the farmer's name and address, the kind that people use on Christmas card envelopes.
