The Environment, Energy, Forestry and Agriculture Network (EEFA), is a Japanese Cabinet-approved Non-Profit Organisation, which aims at energy and food self-sufficiency,

To mark the 150th anniversary of Japan-UK trade relations, we are bringing together the UK’s high recognition and awareness of environmental issues as exemplified by Prince Charles, with the world’s most advanced energy and environmental technologies of Japanese universities and businesses. To establish an environmentally harmonious and sustainable society, we are establishing the EEFA London branch and are launching the Japan-UK Next Generation Energy Project Team.

The project to establish “ECO-PARK”, bringing together every elemental technology of energy and environment fields, will be implemented with eco-partners in the UK as well as participation from the UK government, municipalities, local residents and leading environmental companies. It would be our utmost pleasure if these technologies were to spread to other areas of the UK where they are needed.
