My presentation about problems in Japan. This is my presentation about problems in Japan. Can you check and correct my English? We would like to talk about Japan’s food self-sufficiency. First of all, let me explain the food self-sufficiency rate. It is the ratio of the amount of food for humans and livestock consumed and produced in the country to the total quantity of foodstuffs consumed there. Japan’s food self-sufficiency ratio fell to 38 percent on a calorie basis in fiscal 2016, the second-lowest ever. Buy the way, US’s food self-sufficiency was 124 percent. The farm ministry’s goal is to raise the rate to 50 percent by fiscal 2020. But it should be realistic and realize that this is unattainable. Then, what is good about the Local Production Local Consumption? One of them is Food self-sufficiency rate to improve. There are many other advantages as well. What we noted was that it was " Consumers can see the producer's face”. Producers can directly communicate with consumers. Such direct communication can make it possible for producers to grasp their consumers’ preference. By deepening the connection between consumers and producers, the interest in local foods will deepen. In December 2013 washoku was registered in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List, The attention from the world to Japanese food is rising. Once again, I think that we should rethink our culture and inherit it.
