Today is World Food Day. Observed every year on October 16, World Food Day is an opportunity to reflect on global food security and the future of food production. This year’s theme, “Innovate today. Nourish tomorrow.”, highlights the role innovation can play in building a more sustainable and resilient food future. The food we enjoy every day is made possible by farmers and countless others across the food value chain. Yet agriculture is facing growing challenges, including increasing food demand, labor shortages, an aging agricultural workforce, and the impacts of climate change. Meeting these challenges will require new approaches that help producers work more efficiently, make better use of resources, and continue producing food sustainably. At Yanmar, we support these efforts through Smart Agriculture. By connecting machinery, people, and data, our solutions help visualize field operations, optimize farming practices, improve productivity, and support better decision-making. Through digital technologies and automation, we aim to reduce workload while helping producers build more resilient and sustainable farming operations. On this World Food Day, we reaffirm our commitment to helping shape a future where innovation supports both sustainable agriculture and stable food production for generations to come.

Fresh perspectives become even more valuable when combined with experience. In the third edition of our Next Generation at Yanmar series, we meet Maria Briones Zamora, a Marketing Technician at HIMOINSA, a Yanmar subsidiary within the Energy Systems business, based in Murcia, Spain. María joined HIMOINSA as a marketing intern in February 2026 and became a permanent member of the team in July. What began as an opportunity to gain experience has become the first step in her professional career with Yanmar. Initially drawn to marketing for its creative dimension, María soon discovered an equally strong interest in its analytical and strategic side. Today, she supports international projects spanning market analysis, digital marketing, content and communications, while collaborating with subsidiaries and distributors across different markets. The most rewarding part of her role is turning information into action: understanding who customers are, what they need and where new opportunities may exist and using those insights to support better decisions. Beginning her career alongside experienced colleagues has also brought an important lesson: “Being new does not have to be a limitation. It can be motivation to learn quickly, ask questions, listen to the people around you and find solutions.” For María, the fresh perspective of early-career employees does not replace experience, it complements it. Combining new ideas with the knowledge of colleagues who understand the company deeply can help Yanmar continue to evolve while preserving what already works well. Looking ahead, María hopes to take on greater responsibility, deepen her knowledge of customers and markets, and continue discovering where a career at Yanmar can lead. Through Next Generation at Yanmar, we celebrate early-career employees whose curiosity, ideas and commitment are helping shape the future of the Yanmar Group. #NextGenerationAtYanmar #Yanmar #HIMOINSA #Marketing #CareerDevelopment

The Antarctic: Syowa Station Crew Report vol.12 Hello everyone! This time, we would like to introduce the maintenance work carried out on the generator engines at Syowa Station. At Syowa Station, two 300 kVA generators are installed and operated alternately, with the operating unit switched approximately every 500 hours. When a generator is taken offline, it undergoes maintenance inspections and test runs to ensure it is ready for its next period of operation. We carefully maintain these generator engines, which have been preserved by generations of wintering party members before us, and pass them on to the next team in good condition. Photo Report 1st Photo : Inspecting and cleaning the lubricating oil filter. This helps prevent inadequate lubrication caused by filter clogging. 2nd Photo : Adjusting the valve clearance. Regular adjustments help prevent reduced engine performance and valve damage. 3rd Photo : Inspecting the inside of the engine for any abnormalities. Based on a detailed checklist, the engine is inspected across 11 different inspection points. 4th Photo : Inspecting the fuel injection nozzle. This is a critical engine component that directly affects engine output, fuel efficiency, and exhaust emissions. #AntarcticDiary #Yanmar Check out past “The Antarctic: Syowa Station Crew Report” on the website "Yanmar and Antarctica"↓ https://lnkd.in/eyWh4RqJ <About The Antarctic: Syowa Station Crew Report> Since 1983, Yanmar has been supporting the Antarctic missions conducted by the National Institute of Polar Research. For more than 40 years, in addition to supplying generators, Yanmar has dispatched engineers to Antarctica as generator specialists with the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition wintering party. These engineers are responsible for operating and maintaining power generation systems on site. By ensuring the stable operation of power facilities.

How can engineering make difficult work easier, safer, and more accessible? In the latest edition of our Yanmar Women in Engineering series, we meet Miyuki Saiki, a robotics engineer at Yanmar working to turn new technologies into practical solutions for agriculture and construction. Miyuki's path into engineering began with a desire to create something through her own abilities. Recognizing agriculture's reliance on highly skilled workers and the challenges this can create for people entering the industry, she set herself an ambitious goal: to use technology to help make agriculture a more attractive profession. Since joining Yanmar in 2017, Miyuki has worked on robotics technologies across agriculture and construction. One of her proudest achievements was developing the harvesting hand for Yanmar's tomato-harvesting robot. By looking beyond her own field and combining knowledge and technologies from different disciplines, she helped create a new solution and her work was later recognized with an academic encouragement award from the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers. Today, Miyuki leads a project developing force-control technology for real-world applications. The technology is designed to enable machines to perform delicate tasks that have traditionally depended on human hands, opening possibilities for addressing labor shortages and creating new ways of working. For Miyuki, one of the most rewarding parts of engineering is taking an idea, working through problems for which there is no predetermined answer, and ultimately seeing that idea become a real technology. Throughout that process, Miyuki has learned to value the support and contributions of those around her, recognizing that innovation is never achieved alone. Her advice to young women considering engineering reflects the determination behind her own career: "Believe in what you want to achieve and see it through. Keep thinking beyond the challenges in front of you to what you can do to help create a better society." Through Yanmar Women in Engineering, we continue to share the people, ideas, and technologies helping shape a better future across the Yanmar Group. #WomenInEngineering #Engineering #Robotics #Innovation #Technology #YANMAR

“Clarity is not the starting point. It is the result of asking better questions.” In the second edition of our Next Generation at Yanmar series, we meet Cristian Topa, Digital Marketing Specialist at YANMAR Marine International B.V. in Almere, the Netherlands. Cristian was drawn to marketing because it brings together creativity, business, and human behavior. Since joining Yanmar two years ago, he has helped turn complex products and business priorities into clear journeys that people can understand and act on. He is particularly excited about helping launch Yanmar’s next generation of marine technology, including hybrid and electric solutions. For Cristian, the challenge is not simply to promote a product. It is to translate complex engineering into a clear story, connect each customer touchpoint, and make it easier for customers and partners to take the next step. Working across teams, agencies, and markets has taught him the importance of identifying a shared objective early and using different perspectives to strengthen the work. “In an international organization, different teams can all be right from their own perspective. I have learned to find the shared objective early, make complexity visible, and use feedback to sharpen the work rather than slow it down.” Cristian believes that people beginning their careers bring “productive curiosity.” Their familiarity with new habits and technologies, combined with a willingness to ask why things are done a certain way, can help Yanmar simplify complex experiences, test ideas faster, and connect its engineering heritage with new ways of working. Looking ahead, Cristian hopes to help create a more connected approach to storytelling across campaigns, digital experiences, and events, while supporting a team where people can challenge one another and achieve more together. Through Next Generation at Yanmar, we celebrate the emerging talent, fresh perspectives, and curiosity helping shape Yanmar’s future. #Yanmar #NextGenerationAtYanmar #DigitalMarketing #MarineTechnology #CareerDevelopment

How can an abundant agricultural byproduct be transformed into value for farmers and the climate? Yanmar Energy System has begun taking orders in Japan for a system that converts rice husks into biochar. The system is intended for grain storage and rice-processing centers that must manage large volumes of husks. Its proprietary high-temperature carbonization method is designed to suppress smoke, odors and the formation of crystalline silica. After electrical ignition, heat from the rice husks sustains the process without fossil fuel or a secondary-combustion burner. Automation and remote monitoring also support continuous operation, including overnight. When returned to farmland, the resulting porous biochar may help improve water retention and drainage. Because its carbon resists decomposition, it can also support long-term carbon storage. While the system is currently focused on Japan, it addresses a challenge shared by rice-producing regions around the world and demonstrates how agricultural byproducts can become useful resources within a more circular model.
