座長解題／リスク・不確実性が増大する世界食料市場とフードシステム

−食料の安定的な調達に向けて−

抄録

The COVID-19 pandemic, Russian aggression with Ukraine, export restriction measures in agricultural and food sectors, climate change and other factors cause to increase risks and uncertainties for global food markets. Unstable domestic food prices, impacted by the volatile international food markets, have a crucial impact on domestic food system. This symposium discusses an ideal food system to ensure stable food procurement. Furthermore, we expect that this symposium can lead to academic contributions for proposing new food system policies, by integrating multiple academic fields of knowledge. The first presentation was titled “Corporate Behavior and Issues for Stable Supply in the Flour Milling and Feed Industries”,; the second was titled “Structural Analysis of the Food System of Imported Rapeseed: Toward Stable Oilseeds Procurement in Japan”; the third was “Actual Conditions and Challenges of Grain Procurement Behavior by Japanese Trading Companies: Focusing on North America”; and the last was “Zen-Noh’s Initiatives and Issues for Stable Procurements of Grains & Oilseeds, etc. from Overseas”. Two commentators also made these discussions deeper and more fruitful.
