Due to the prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been difficult to obtain on-site videos from overseas, but with the easing of border control measures from the end of FY2021, travel to the sites of joint research institutes has resumed. The video makes extensive use of the latest footage shot overseas by research staff.

The thumbnail message of the promotional video, “Move forward, hand in hand” expresses that through cooperation and collaboration with the diverse partners of JIRCAS, we will "join hands" in our efforts to solve global food and environmental problems. In addition, the thumbnails for the “Environment”, "Food" and "Information" programs feature images with the theme colors of each program.
