La longue marche de l’agriculture familiale au Japon

Abstract

Japan is a country which is both modern and traditional. While it is highly industrialized, its rice farming has been able to meet the national demand for two millennia. Rice is a staple for the people which is grown by increasingly ageing small farmers; the plots they own are smaller than one hectare. These small farms are a result of the post-war land reform and their existence is now threatened by the government which wants to modernize agriculture. However, small farmers have not given up because farming is their ikigai, that which gives meaning to their lives. They carry on, now relying on supplemental income: they have a job on the side and/or a retirement pension.
