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.
