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 MIDORI Strategy for sustainable food systems, on 12 May 2021.
