Nippon No Shoku to No No Mirai "Jizoku Kanona Shokutaku" Wo Kangaeru (Kobunsha Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] With a food self-sufficiency rate of less than 40%, Japan relies on foreign countries for the majority of its food. As symbolized by the phrase "the age of food boredom," we are living in an age when food can be delivered to our homes with a click of a mouse, and we can get our meals at convenience stores alone. However, what will happen in the future when the global environment changes and unexpected situations occur in the import and export of agricultural products? How should we think and act on food and agriculture now that we are facing the double risk of "dependence on foreign countries for food" and "devastation of domestic agriculture"? This book discusses "self-sufficiency on an equal scale," paying attention to new developments in the field.
