EXPO2025 Theme of the Expo 2025

In exchange for our development,
humanity has continued to place a heavy
burden on the global environment.
Having built advanced sciences capable
of altering life itself, we must humbly
acknowledge that humanity is but one
part of the ecosystem. At the same time,
we must recognize our
responsibility to
use the very science and technology we
have created to
carve out a sustainable
future, and to take action accordingly.

Against this backdrop, Expo 2025 Osaka,
Kansai is being held
under the theme
“designing future society for our lives.”

THOUGHTS Kubota’s thoughts

At the “Future Life Expo: Future City” pavilion,
Kubota reflected
on the past, present, and future of food
and agriculture,
aiming to explore
possibilities for creating
a future of
planetary-conscious food and agriculture,”
where everyone can enjoy
food and live richly.

Human Progress and
Agricultural Development

Agriculture, which supports our food,
has changed in form along with the
development of society.
Beginning with ancient hunter-gatherer societies, we have passed through
agrarian, industrial and information societies, and are about to usher in
a new society. We will introduce the agriculture of each era, and Kubota’s
vision for the future of food and
agriculture.

Hunter-gatherer Society → Agrarian Society → Industrial Society → Information Society → Future Society
