There are a wide range of issues that need to be addressed globally with regard to agriculture, forestry, fisheries and food sectors, including climate change and the associated increase in large-scale disasters. Japan's agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries are facing a shortage of labour due to the ageing of the population. In order to address these issues, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) launched the Strategy MIDORI, a strategy for a sustainable food system, on 12 May 2021.
