  • ―農の原点にも立ち戻って―

抄録

<p>The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) delivered a new policy statement called “Strategy for Sustainable Food Systems MIDORI” in 2021, effective immediately. The policy is an answer from MAFF and administration on agricultural policy to the Carbon Neutral Declaration of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga in 2020 that he regarded as one of the main targets of his administration, and declared it as such at international conferences. The document includes a declaration of policy goal to expand the acreage of organic farming up to 25% of total farmland. This goal of one million ha. by 2050 surprised many people. We indicate problems of the policy by observing that two years that has passed since its announcement. The problem that we indicate as our conclusion is as given below. First, there is no evidence to make the policy goal realistic. Second, the actions and operations of MAFF should show remarkable changes as they intend to shift policy toward organic farming drastically, however we do see any change yet. Third, we are not able to agree with the basic understanding on the pathway to make organic farming the major farming style in Japan by the so-called MIDORI strategy, that focuses mostly on innovation/inventing new technology; we conclude it is the wrong policy for this farming revolution.</p>
