Japan's Strategy for Sustainable Food Systems “MIDORI”, launched in 2021, aims to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability through innovation. To support this goal, the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS) is implementing the Green Asia Project (2022–2025) to accelerate the application of agricultural technologies in the Asia-Monsoon region.
Key initiatives include the International Center for Strategy "MIDORI", which collaborates with global and local research institutes to analyze and disseminate agricultural, forestry, and fisheries technologies. Resources such as Technology Catalog, Data Dashboard, and Green Asia Report Series provide stakeholders with actionable insights. For example, Report No.2, “Accelerating Intermittent Irrigation for Low-carbon and Resilient Rice Production Systems in Asia” highlights alternate wetting and drying (AWD) as a key practice for reducing water use, cutting methane emissions, and enhancing climate resilience in Asian rice production systems. With a focus on joint research, technology optimization, and climate-smart agriculture, Green Asia drives sustainable food systems transformation, tailored to the unique conditions of the region.
