| Summary: | The Asian Rural Institute (ARI), based in Tochigi, Japan, is a Christian-based nonprofit. The goal is to train people from around the world—particularly those from countries that have been negatively impacted by colonization—to grow their own food sustainably.

Interfaith action and dialog play a role in daily life at ARI by enabling it to function as what Catherine Squires (2022) calls a satellite public sphere in this rural place. |
