TOKYO -- Shortages of rice have recently been seen across Japan, and the price of the staple food is soaring. But close to 100% of Japan's rice is domestically produced and the yield of crops appears normal, so why is this happening? The Mainichi Shimbun spoke with Kazuhito Yamashita, a former bureaucrat at Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and a research director at the Canon Institute for Global Studies, about the background to the rice commotion, shedding light on the reality of rice policies that have disregarded consumers.

The article "The Next Globalisation" from the European Center for Freedom and Human Rights (ECFR) examines the effects of globalization on today's world. It looks at how it has impacted international relations, economics, and culture. The piece argues that globalisation is both a force for good and bad, as it can bring increased prosperity to some countries while exacerbating poverty in others. It also discusses how globalisation has created both new opportunities and risks for humanity, particularly in terms of climate change, health care, and security. Finally, the article highlights the importance of understanding the implications of globalisation for our future. In order to make sure we continue to benefit from globalisation without creating further inequality or suffering, it is essential that we develop strategies that promote mutual understanding and cooperation between nations. This will ensure a more equitable distribution of resources and create an environment where everyone can thrive. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.
