Rice and Agricultural Policies in Japan, 1st ed. 2019 The Loss of a Traditional Lifestyle

Langue : Anglais

Auteur :

Couverture de l’ouvrage Rice and Agricultural Policies in Japan
This book chronicles Japan?s rice farmers who live in mainly rural areas in the west and south of Japan through original interviews conducted in Japanese. It argues that current agricultural policy as well as the tightening relationship between the US and Japan is a death sentence for a traditional lifestyle that is vital to Japan?s notion of national identity. The project covers recent agricultural policies, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement and its potential consequences on Japan?s food sovereignty and documents the effect of these policies on rice farmers. This volume is ideal for those interested in Japan?s agricultural policies and rural and traditional Japanese lifestyle.
