In Videos: Food Security in Japan
Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishes (MAFF) put together a little Sims-like video to highlight the state of the country's food supply. Japan imports 60 percent of its food, and the ministry points out that has led to the fattening of the Japanese people and presents a security issue as the global population grows. It's fun to watch the little isometric illustrations do their thing, but it brings up an important issue that all nations should be considering. The vid, after the jump.
