Abstract

I focus on the efforts to link food and agriculture in North America and Japan, and discuss what role COVID-19 can play in shifting the food system away from dependence on markets. I also examine the historical trends in the relationship between food and agriculture, and the impact that the spread of COVID-19 has had on those trends. Then, based on the experience of COVID-19, I discuss the prospects for a sustainable society after COVID-19 from the perspective of the relationship between food and agriculture.
