The Mitsubishi Estate Group is working with the Ministry of the Environment's Imperial Palace Outer Gardens Management Office on an initiative entitled "Moat Project" aimed at restoring the aquatic ecosystem and preserving biodiversity in the moat of the Imperial Palace Outer Gardens in Marunouchi, Tokyo.
Starting in 2019, waterweed harvested during the Ministry of the Environment's maintenance of the moat around the Imperial Palace has been turned into compost, which is then used to grow vegetables in Yamanashi Prefecture, which are then used as ingredients in the cafeteria at Mitsubishi Estate's headquarters, creating a resource circulation system that connects urban and rural areas.

People involved in the environmental restoration of the moat, an oasis in the city, farmers who grow vegetables with particular attention to the soil and fertilizer, and chefs who turn food into delicious soups. Through this project that connects urban and rural areas with the baton of circulation, we aim to make food waste reduction and SDGs activities more familiar to people.
