Food policy

Japanese: 食糧政策 - しょくりょうせいさく
Food policy
It is a general term for policies related to food supply and demand, distribution, prices, and trade. However, in Japan, food policy is usually limited to policies related to staple foods, especially rice and wheat, with policies related to livestock products, fruits and vegetables, seafood, etc. being treated separately. This is because historically, Japan's food policy has been based exclusively on rice and wheat (especially rice), and this still accounts for a large proportion of the policy today. The purpose of food policy is to ensure a stable supply of the food needed by the people. To achieve this, measures are needed to enable producers to produce steadily, and stable imports must be ensured.

Japanese:
食糧の需給,流通,価格,貿易に関する政策の総称である。しかし日本では食糧政策としては,もっぱら主食,とくに米麦に関する政策に限定し,畜産物,青果物,魚介類などに関する政策は別途に扱われるのが普通である。これは,日本の食糧政策が歴史的にいって,もっぱら米麦(とくに米)から出発しており,なお現在も大きな比重を占めているからである。食糧政策の目的は,国民が必要とする食糧の安定供給を図ることにある。そのためには,生産者が安定的に生産を行うための対策が必要であるし,輸入の安定確保も図らねばならない。
