"I am a farmer, as well as a singer. These are my strengths. The virtues of agriculture can be interesting to the general public. Therefore, I believe that we need to use the power of music to attract more attention from society," says Tokumoto.
Tokumoto aims to inspire a broader audience, reaching people both within and beyond the agricultural community. Because of his innovative methods and dedication to amplifying the farmers' voice, Tokumoto has been honored with the 2024 Global Farmer Network Kleckner Global Farm Leader Award.
