Book Synopsis Japan's Dietary Transition and Its Impacts by : Vaclav Smil
Book excerpt: In a little more than a century, the Japanese diet has undergone a dramatic transformation. This book points out that the gains in the quality of Japans diet have exacted a price in terms of land use changes, water requirements, & marine resource depletion; & because Japan imports so much food, this price is paid globally as well as domestically.
