Building Sustainable Agrifood Systems and Resilient Rural Communities in Japan

Building Sustainable Agrifood Systems and Resilient Rural Communities in Japan Synopsis

Building Sustainable Agrifood Systems and Resilient Rural Communities in Japan explores the challenges Japan has been facing as a post-industrialized society. Through case studies across rural Japan, this book shows how these challenges are being addressed in terms of reorganizing agriculture, food systems, and rural livelihoods. Although the contexts surrounding rural areas in Japan are different from elsewhere in the world, this volume provides possible lessons on sustainability and adaptation.
