Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) is developing a green food system strategy for agricultural, forestry, and fishery supply chains, with a 2050 timeline for implementation. Through the initiative, MAFF aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to zero, reduce pesticide and fertilizer use, convert 25 percent of arable land to organic production, and achieve a number of other sustainability targets. The strategy also calls for importers, both government and private sector, to prioritize suppliers that account for sustainability in their supply chains. MAFF recently published an interim report summarizing implementation strategies and key targets, but plans to roll out additional information throughout 2021, including at the United Nations Food Systems Summit in September.
