Noto Regional GIAHS Executive Committee has decided to adopt a logo that represents the image of the integrated strength of Noto's Satoyama and Satoumi areas in order to increase awareness of its importance as a global agricultural heritage and to foster a movement to "Create an effective Satoyama and Satoumi".
To use the logo, an application must be sent to the Noto Regional GIAHS Executive Committee.
