"Japan’s food self-sufficiency ratio falls to 37%, well below 2030 goal of 45%" "To achieve its 45% goal, Japan plans to expand farmland for wheat and soybeans" 🔸OTOH: "Australia, Canada, ​France and the U.S. have self-sufficiency ratios ​above 100%" https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/07/japan/japan-food-self-sufficiency-ratio-falls/ 🔸Seems Japan's leaders think Japan can just keep importing the shortfall in food despite global climate change and falling yen value. Ditto for energy supplies. #HeadInSand #LackOfUrgency
