Video of the Week: Japan’s Food Problems
Hello and Happy Friday! You did it, yet again, made it through a work-week and now get to celebrate and enjoy the fruits of the first weekend in December! To cap off a great week, I thought it’d be wise to open our eyes to something on a global scale.
I just stumbled across this video from the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries that does amazing things to show not only the food crisis Japan might be facing, but the way it could be for almost any nation, anywhere. This video very quickly and even a bit entertainingly shows things that can be done to have healthy food for the future, not just tomorrow, but in the years to come. A dangerous combination of decreasing farmland, farmers aging, unhealthy eating habits and a great deal more food imports is creating a situation that could be dangerous in the years to come.
The question is, what happens if we Can Not produce enough food to live? What if the population exceeds the supply? These are all questions that need answers, and this video is a great, small indication of that. Check it out, and enjoy your weekend!
