Background

LIFULL, the leading real estate information service in Japan, has been providing wooden houses for Japanese people. Inspired by SDGs, LIFULL started a project for forest health sustainability. The forestry industry has been promoting artificial plantation which has helped the prevention of global warming. Those artificial forests require a regular maintenance process of “tree thinning” to deliver sunlight to the trees. However, in recent years, the declining demand of thinned trees has limited this maintenance support and destroyed the forest environment. So we invented a brand new demand for thinned trees to be used as FOOD.

Describe the creative idea (40% of vote)

EATREE PLATES A new idea of eating the thinned trees to save trees. Consumption as a food ingredient generates revenue for forestry business, creates further demand of tree-thinning, and helps the forests to be in a better environment. We developed a new eco-system through a cross-industry collaborative approach for sustainable forest health.

Describe the execution (40% of vote)

1. Worked with a forestry company to dry and grind the wood material and transformed it into a food ingredient. 2. Developed a full-course recipe with a Michelin-starred chef. 3. Open a restaurant in the middle of a thinned tree forest and offered the same experience also in Tokyo at LIFULL’s own restaurant.

List the results (20% of vote)

The news was covered widely and spotlighted the issue of thinned trees and whole forest industry. Now we made an e-commerce offering of selling poundcakes. They have become very popular and constantly sold out. Sales increased by 500% and PR spending of US$9K delivered news value equivalent to US$1.8M. More importantly, this project is bringing money to the forestry companies engaged in tree-thinning business.
