- mudil 7y agoThat's flimsy considerations, if you ask me. Japan does well with little land. Agriculture nowadays uses way less land than it used to.

- ThrowawayR2 7y ago> "Japan does well with little land. Agriculture nowadays uses way less land than it used to." Surely you are joking. Japan is not self-sufficient with respect to food; they have to import around 63% currently and it is of great concern to them, see https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2019/08/20/editorials/japans-falling-food-self-sufficiency/ https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2019/08/20/editorials/j... .
