Ensuring the Future of Food in Japan
Here's an educational video from Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. It's remarkable for making very complex, interconnected issues — i.e., food security, public health, global trade, energy and geography — more readily understandable. And in under 5 minutes! Quite an amazing feat.
It's rather reminiscent of the ephemeral films made by government agencies and corporations of 1950s America. The production quality here is more slick, but it's still propaganda, a brand of social engineering instilling institutional definitions of patriotism and good citizenship. Good Japanese eat Japanese food.
Cultural hegemony via pastel colors and infographics porn.
There should be more of these made everywhere.

perhaps the idealist and able will solve all these sort of problems, "obama will fix it". there are so many rampant plagues assailing human endeavors now days. but we have in a way build upon the past with certain level of improvement. i imagine this trend will haphazardly continue somehow.
