Nerima Ward retains 1,300+ urban farms within its boundaries — the most agriculture of any Tokyo ward. This supports Japan's only urban ward-run composting programme: 42 community compost stations accept food waste from residents and return finished compost to the farms, creating a hyper-local zero-waste food loop.
