What time is it
Japan is a country surrounded by the sea on all sides, and a lot of fish can be caught in the surrounding sea, but is it true that the demand for fish is decreasing? However, I hear that fish and shellfish are important food resources that account for 16% of the world's animal protein supply. Per capita consumption of fish and shellfish in the world has almost doubled in the last half century. FAO: At the time of 2015, as a factor of the increase in global seafood consumption, the internationalization of food distribution progressed due to the development of transportation technology, etc., and it was connected to the international food system against the background of the increase in urban population.In addition, food purchases at supermarkets are increasing, and as a result, in emerging and developing countries where economic development is progressing, from traditional staple foods such as potatoes to diets centered on protein-rich meat and fish. He points out that the transition of eating habits is progressing. In the Asian region, where fish-eating habits have been strong from the beginning, the number will increase remarkably as the standard of living improves. In particular, growth in emerging countries is conspicuous, with China doubling in the past half century and Indonesia doubling. Growth is slowing in Europe and North America, where animal protein intake is already at adequate levels. Although the per capita consumption of fish and shellfish in Japan is at a high level, it has decreased to the same level as about 60 years ago, and it seems that it is showing an exceptional movement in the world (Fisheries Agency). Comparing the regional purchases of salmon, tuna, and yellowtail, which account for the highest consumption, between 1989 and 2018, it seems that the difference in purchases by region is narrowing. In the past, the main consumption of fresh fish and shellfish in each region was that of that region, but due to the development of distribution and refrigeration technology, it was purchased even in regions where salmon, tuna and yellowtail were not widely distributed. It is presumed that it has become consumed nationwide due to the fact that it has become easier to cook and the demand for fish species that can be purchased in an easy-to-cook form has increased. In China, which accounts for about 20% of the world's population, food consumption is increasing and eating habits are changing due to economic growth. In terms of per capita consumption, consumption of cereals, which is a traditional staple food, has decreased by nearly 20% from the peak, and on the contrary, consumption of meat has increased significantly. These changes have greatly increased China's demand for corn and soybeans as feed, and many of the soybeans produced in Brazil are heading to China, which is said to have a major impact on the world's food supply. As for seafood, the increase in consumption in China is remarkable. On the other hand, in China, it seems that there is still a big difference in eating habits between urban and rural areas. If economic development continues in the future, it is expected that the dietary habits will change in rural areas where people rely on grains, and the consumption of seafood will increase further. In addition, about 50% of China's current consumption of seafood is freshwater fish, which is easily available, but in urban areas, demand may shift to high-end saltwater fish. Due to the state of emergency, eating out is severe due to requests for closure of restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages and requests for shortened business hours, and demand for tourism in rural areas such as refraining from returning to the lantern festival is expected to be difficult. The views of the Agriculture and Livestock Industries Promotion Organization have hit the mark. I'm full of hard work. As retail demand rises in purchasing costs, consumption is shifting to delica and sashimi rather than meat due to the heat wave and tiredness of cooking, and the sales of cheap cut-off products are not surprising, and the livestock division of each company clears the previous year's results. It's a difficult situation to do. In 2020, distribution companies tried to strengthen yakiniku mainly for Japanese beef and domestic beef, so inquiries for parts including loin were strong, but in 2021, orders are still small even in August. Except for loin for export, Japanese beef and hybrids have roses and tomosankaku, but Ude and peach are sluggish. Classita is rarely sold due to freezing for year-end demand. Horus isn't moving, and Brisket seems to be sold mixed with cut-offs. Regarding the purpose of raising cattle (horses), it is generally recognized that horses belong to war and rulers, and cattle belong to peaceful peasants. Cattle were also initially intended to be used for wartime goods transportation rather than for farming. History tells us that after the middle of the Heian period, the owners of cattle moved to the local tribes, and the plows were cultivated by japanese plow with long sole, and the cattle became for peaceful farmers. In the record that was bred in Japan, there is a description in the “Japanese clerk” written in the 600's AD that the boar (pig) is bred at the house of a person who came from the continent. Therefore, it is inferred that the technique of raising wild boars (pigs) as livestock was disseminated by migrants from the continent in the 200s and 600s AD. However, with the introduction of Buddhism, the idea of forbidden killing gradually spread throughout Japan, and there is a fact that the habit of meat has disappeared and wild boar (pig farming) has also declined. It is reported that pigs were once again kept in Japan during the Tokugawa period from 1664 to 1691, when pigs were imported into what is now Nagasaki Prefecture by Chinese people. Also, in Kagoshima prefecture, it is written in a travelogue written by Mr. Nankei (Shāng hán lùn, East and West Tozai) Tachibana during the differentiation year of the Edo period that pigs are raised to get fertilizer. There is. In addition, there is a description that pigs have been bred since the Edo period in Chiba, Kanagawa, Saitama, Hokkaido, Ibaraki, etc. However, until the Meiji era, the Japanese meat habit was not publicly influenced by the Buddhist teaching of the idea of forbidden killing. It is said that Mr. Zhang Zhongjing(張仲景), who was the governor of Changsha (Hunan Province) at the beginning of the third century, wrote it.After changing from Edo to the Meiji era, Mr. Toshimichi Okubo, a senior government official, set two major goals in order to promote industry in Japan. One of them is the promotion of livestock, which has increased the consumption of livestock products, improved the body to be competitive with Western countries, and made the policy of increasing national prosperity and military power a stepping stone. In 1872, he issued a “land ticket,” which is a certificate stating the name of the landowner, the area of the land, and the land price (land price). The following year, in 1873, he issued the Decree of regulation of the land-tax reform. In the same year, the government set up an observation dormitory branch office in Naito Shinjuku (currently Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden), where foreign crops and livestock were introduced. Under the guidance, pig farming that adopted the Western European pig breeding method was started for the first time in Japan. After that, pig farming incorporating Western European technology spread to government test sites in various places. In addition, the varieties introduced at that time were Chester White from the United States, Suffolk from the United Kingdom, Berkshire, etc. Piglets produced by public institutions were sold to the private sector, and pig farming spread throughout the country. It seems that the feed for pigs at the time of the great justification was not the current compound feed made mainly from corn, but a large amount of waste from the food industry and food residue from households. Pig farming became popular in areas where the food industry was thriving and in urban areas where there was a lot of food residue. As for how to eat pork, it was mainly eaten as processed foods such as bacon, ham, and canned food, instead of grilled meat and pork cutlet as it is now. It is said that the Pork cutlet appeared around the popular cafeteria in Asakusa around 1920-1921, and it is thought that it was originally popular from Nagasaki (Nanban; Southern Barbarians) cuisine. In the Showa era, not only pig farming is encouraged, but livestock farming that returns excrement of livestock to cultivated land as manure is encouraged, and the government will issue incentives for the installation of facilities and equipment. I heard that it became. It is a well-known fact that in 1988, the United States suddenly announced that the phenomenon of global warming was occurring, and within that year, the United Nations established an organization called Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change; IPCC to handle global warming. Do you remember that the Kyoto Conference was held in 1997 and it was decided to curb CO2 emissions, but Japan was the only country that actually tried to protect it? Summary: At the first Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which aims to achieve stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, greenhouse gas emissions will be at 1990 levels by 2000. The goal was set to return to. It was decided that the efforts of developed countries after 2000 will be decided in 1997. At the 3rd Conference of the Parties held in Kyoto in December 1997, the Kyoto Protocol was adopted, and specific reduction figures are set as the target of Annex 1 Parties as a whole from 2008 to 2012. It has been decided to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 5.2% compared to 1990. Regarding the handling of sinks, the amount of greenhouse gas absorption for limited activities will be taken into consideration. Regarding flexibility in achieving the quantity objectives, “carry-over of quotas” was allowed, but “advance borrowing” was not included because developing countries strongly opposed it as a loophole in its obligations. The introduction of emissions trading was decided, and the relevant rules will be decided at the Conference of the Parties to the relevant framework treaties in the future. The problem of greenhouse gas reduction in developing countries remains unsolved. Excerpt text: It is pointed out that human economic activity may increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, resulting in an increase in the greenhouse effect, which may lead to a rapid rise in temperature over the next few decades. Has been done. This is called the “Global Warming Problem.” As the temperature rises, sea level rises, precipitation changes, and evaporation changes occur, which are thought to have a major impact on ecosystems and human society. As the temperature rises, the sea level rises due to the expansion of seawater and the melting of ice on land, and it is thought that flooding and erosion will cause damage in coastal areas. This has significant implications for coastal cities around the world, the basins of large rivers such as the Nile in Egypt and the Ganges in Bangladesh, especially in estuaries and island nations such as Morgib on coral reefs. Changes in precipitation, precipitation time, high temperature damage, changes in the appearance of pests, changes in soil moisture, etc. have a great effect on crops. Since ecosystems such as animals and plants are closely related to climate, they cannot withstand the rapid changes, and it is possible that the devastation of plant communities and the extinction of species will be accelerated. In addition, changes in the distribution of infectious diseases related to climate may affect human health. Thus, global warming affects all areas. Until very recently, the effects of global warming were often uncertain. In addition, it has been said that it is not necessary to take measures yet because there are many uncertainties in the observation of global warming itself. However, if the “Global Warming Problem” becomes a reality, the impact on people's lives will be extremely large. Moreover, even if measures are taken when the effects are clearly recognized, it is impossible to rapidly reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and climate change and sea level rise once have occurred. It is also a difficult technique to recover. There is growing recognition that it is important to take the necessary measures before it is too late. The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty for international efforts to combat global warming. Since it was adopted at the 3rd Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP3) held in Kyoto in 1997, it was named Kyoto. Based on this agreement, the Government of Japan was also obliged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 6% from 1990 levels to 2008-2012. Japan was able to achieve this goal, but dissatisfied with the Protocol, which does not require developing countries to reduce it, and did not participate in the next commitment, the second commitment period (2013-2020). Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a cause of global warming. It is easy to imagine a large amount of emissions in the industrial field such as power generation and driving a car, but there are many emissions through fields closely related to eating habits such as livestock and agriculture. Greenhouse gases emitted from livestock account for about 14% of the world's greenhouse gases, which is comparable to the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted from all vehicles. I've heard that if left untreated for greenhouse gas emissions from food systems, the temperature rise will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050. However, taking that into account, it should be remembered that the temperature of the entire world has not changed much since about 20 years ago, except for big cities. Continental nations are easily affected, but maritime nations are oceanic. Due to the sexual climate, there is little change in temperature. It is well known that animals raised for human food produce excrement many times that of the population. But that is the providence of nature. Everything that happens is danced in the palm of God due to consumer waste, many hobbies, and hobbies and tastes. You shouldn't be confused anymore, and did you expect it? Rather, the top priority for Japan is disaster prevention. You should take measures immediately.
