Farmers grow main products such as cereal crops, woods, fruits, vegetables and livestock. All the residues are used for producing compost and methane gas by the individual farmers with recycling system. Newly stabilized sand dune is not only effective for preventing sand drift but also effective for producing notorious grass for livestock. With producing grasses repeatedly, the soil physical and chemical properties are expected to be improved steadily. Wind shelter forests are effective for protecting agricultural area from strong wind and sand attack. Moreover these are effective for supplying woods and fuels, and litters are used for soil improvement.
