Japan’s agriculture ministry warned that by 2035 nearly one third of farmland will not have enough workers.

The projection says over 1.3 million hectares could go uncultivated, about 31 percent of Japan’s 4.22 million hectares.

Officials blame rapid depopulation, aging farmers, and shrinking rural communities for the steep labor shortfall.

The ministry based its forecast on nationwide land use surveys released this week.

To respond, the government plans to consolidate scattered plots into larger farms to boost efficiency.

It will also try to move workers from other regions and industries into agriculture.

Experts warn that reduced planting could hit food security, prices, and the survival of local villages.

Industry groups are urging faster steps on training, mechanization, and smarter pathways for foreign and domestic workers.

Climate permitting…

Nice tip~ 🍏🍎🍐🍊🍋🍑
If you eat fruit, don't throw seeds and kernels in the trash. Wash and dry them. Put them in a box and put it in the car. When you're on the road, throw them through the window in places where there are no trees. Nature itself will take care of them. Or throw it out during a walk or bike ride. This practice has been around for centuries in Asian countries. That is why their fruits are now growing everywhere. I would like to add that I have seen a similar phenomenon in Slovenia. While walking through the forest on the slope of the mountain around the city, I was surprised to find apple trees, apricots, plums and pears growing in the forest. Just pull and eat as much as you want.
