The agriculture industry is faced with the problem of improving toilet facilities for people with disabilities as the movement to hire them on farms spreads amid a nationwide decline in farmers.

Agri no Mori, a nonprofit organization based in Nabari, Mie Prefecture, is using crowdfunding to raise money online for installing new toilets.

The NPO hopes getting people with disabilities to participate actively in agriculture will instill confidence in them so they can develop a zest for living.
