The day moves like a canoe through water; morning stretches, community meals, and a rotation of chores and tasks progress in a controlled yet strong and steady manner. Despite the variety of demands on campus, everyone works in unison. With participants, staff, and volunteers with myriad backgrounds and cultures, how is this possible? The answer is simple \u2014 trust.<\/p>\n<p>ARI\u2019s motto, which can be found across campus, reads \u201cthat we may live together.\u201d According to ARI\u2019s Yukiko-san, this phrase is intentionally crafted and addresses the immense amount of trust required for humans to overcome their barriers and live together. Environmental health, peace, and justice are the goals of the institute; none of which would be possible without mutual trust. With community members from multiple cultural backgrounds, as well as various interests and relationships in ARI\u2019s program and organic farming, the community has to overcome barriers both large and small. Simply put, with no trust there is no community.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_1  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2661\" height=\"4032\" src=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/esj-2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1128\/2018\/01\/IMG_6861-e1515673784798.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/esj-2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1128\/2018\/01\/IMG_6861-e1515673784798.jpg 2661w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/esj-2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1128\/2018\/01\/IMG_6861-e1515673784798-99x150.jpg 99w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/esj-2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1128\/2018\/01\/IMG_6861-e1515673784798-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/esj-2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1128\/2018\/01\/IMG_6861-e1515673784798-768x1164.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/esj-2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1128\/2018\/01\/IMG_6861-e1515673784798-676x1024.jpg 676w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/esj-2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1128\/2018\/01\/IMG_6861-e1515673784798-1080x1636.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2661px) 100vw, 2661px\" class=\"wp-image-274\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_1\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/esj-2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1128\/2018\/01\/IMG_6857-e1516696729716.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/esj-2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1128\/2018\/01\/IMG_6857-e1516696729716.jpg 720w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/esj-2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1128\/2018\/01\/IMG_6857-e1516696729716-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/esj-2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1128\/2018\/01\/IMG_6857-e1516696729716-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" class=\"wp-image-414\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_1  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>This idea of trust moves beyond ARI\u2019s campus to organic farms around Japan.
