Harumi Ozawa

Harumi Ozawa reported for The Telegraph on the trendy young Japanese who are swapping the city for the countryside in order to bolster the country's ailing farming industry. According to Ozawa, young people worried that Japan currently imports about 60 percent of what it eats are keen to ensure the long-term security of the country's food supply: Ozawa noted that roughly 1,520 square miles of farmland in Japan is now abandoned and that 70 percent of the country's farmers are aged over 60. "Kosegare" (literally, little sons) - KO means little in nihongo, [ ? ] is the kanji for "gare", tasofarezoku means club of the senior citizens, or sunset tribe, since tasogare means sunset, and zuko means tribe, so people age 65 or older are often called members of the tasogarezoku, in a sweet tender way...... but one thing, Ben, you said in your post that Harumi Ozawa reported for the Telegraph, but you are wrong, sometimes I think people don't know how to read newspapers anymore, you included, Bem Schott. You should have said "Harumi Ozawa in an AFP story that appeared in the Telegraph here in the London....." You make it sound like the reporter was a Telegraph reporter and she is not. She works for AFP. by Harumi Ozawa However, it seems that Harumi Ozawa's report was via the AFP, and I am happy to clarify that now.
