Going on field trips or educational tours is one of the most exciting ways to learn. Before the pandemic, food factory tours were widely used as an avenue for interactive learning for students aspiring to be part of the industry. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To replicate this activity, Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC) brings its factory tour online with the launch of\u00a0The Ajinomoto Virtual Experience: Be More,<\/u>\u00a0<\/em>this time not only targeting students but homemakers as well. Aside from a detailed tour around Ajinomoto\u2019s factory, the virtual space is also packed with kitchen tips and games that everybody will enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeeting eager participants on factory tours is one of the things we miss during these times. More than sharing what we do, the tour has been an avenue for us to educate about food safety and proper nutrition, as well as to share our advocacy on environmental sustainability,\u201d says Roann Co, APC\u2019s General Manager of Marketing and Public Relations. \u201cNow that we\u2019re bringing it online, we are excited that we can reach not only those from NCR but students and homemakers nationwide empowering them to be more knowledgeable and responsible members of the community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A trip down the grocery lane<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Supermarket <\/em>is the first virtual station of the online tour. This is where visitors can learn more about Ajinomoto\u2019s products and learn about the company\u2019s brief history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From farm to kitchen<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the informational and nostalgic trip, the next stop is the Factory <\/em>which shows how APC\u2019s products are made. <\/em>Since this is an online tour with no physical logistical restrictions, participants can also view the farm where raw materials are harvested. From there, visitors are bound to a detailed tour of the factory where aspiring food innovators can learn about topnotch methods and technologies that keep food safe and of quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finishing the Factory <\/em>tour leads guests to a choice between the Office<\/em> or the Cooking Plaza. <\/em>For students, a 360\u00b0 tour of the Ajinomoto Office will allow them to learn the 5S organization method\u2014Sort, Shine, Set, Standardize, and Sustain<\/em>\u2014which is widely implemented within the company. On the other hand, the Cooking Plaza<\/em> features an interactive kitchen where homemakers can learn about the 5Ms of a great meal\u2014Malinis, Masustansya, Masarap, Matipid, at Madaling Gawin<\/em>\u2014and apply them by virtually cooking dishes, playing games, and answering quizzes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards a more sustainable future<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ajinomoto Virtual Experience: Be More<\/em>\u00a0ends with a message for the future. The last station,\u00a0Community,\u00a0<\/em>features Ajinomoto\u2019s environment education campaign that aims to aid consumers to slowly incorporate sustainable practices into their daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Ajinomoto, our commitment towards a more sustainable future is embedded in our Ajinomoto Group Creating Shared Value (ASV) which represents our unchanging mission of helping resolve society\u2019s issues such as global sustainability, food resources, and healthy living. Through the best practices we shared at\u00a0The Ajinomoto Virtual Experience: Be More<\/u>,\u00a0<\/em>we hope to inspire Filipinos to lead a healthier and eco-friendlier lifestyle,\u201d says Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
