Five Core Principles Driving Japan's Agricultural Future

The revised Basic Act establishes an interdependent framework where progress in one area enables and reinforces all others. Our summit explores each principle through dedicated tracks.

Ensuring Food Security

A three-pillar approach: domestic agricultural production, stable imports, and food stockpiling. With calorie-based self-sufficiency at 38%, the urgency has never been greater.

Environmentally Harmonized Food Systems

The MIDORI Strategy, cross-compliance checks, and the ChoiSTAR visualization system are integrating ESG compliance into every agricultural subsidy and market access pathway.

Fulfillment of Multifunctionality

Rural areas serve as agricultural production bases, environmental stewards, and cultural preservers. Maintaining rural communities enables multifunctionality that supports environmental goals.

Sustainable Development of Agriculture

From smart technology adoption targeting 50%+ by FY2030 to the shift from ownership to service-based machinery models — agriculture is being structurally transformed.

Promoting Rural Development

Agriculture-welfare collaborations have reached 7,179 entities, exceeding targets one year ahead of schedule. The new goal: 12,000+ entities by FY2030.
