Мащабно изследване върху последиците за японското селско стопанство и хранителна индустрия от екологичната катастрофа през март 2011 г.

Abstract

On March 11, 2011 the strongest ever recorded in Japan earthquake occurred (widely known as “The Great East Japan Earthquake”) which triggered a powerful tsunami and caused a nuclear accident in one of the world’s largest nuclear plant stations (Fukushima Daichi). The triple disaster caused adverse effect on people’s life, health and property, infrastructure, supply chains, economy, policies, natural and institutional environment, etc. in the affected regions in and outside Japan. The recently published book by Prof. Hrabrin Bachev (Institute of Agricultural Economy, Sofia), and Prof. Fusao Ito (Tohoku University in Sendai)1 is issued in English on the eve of the forth anniversary of the most devastating “natural and man-made” disasters in the world history. It is among the few in-depth studies, in a language different from Japanese, trying to give comprehensive insight on socio-economic impacts of the March 2011 disasters on agri-food chains in Japan.
