Abstract
This article redeems food self-sufficiency ratios, considers “food self-sufficiency ability” by originally calculating ratios of two islands, and criticizes an article by Ohtsuji.These days “Food” has lots of problems in several realms. In such times, when we think about “rural areas and islands”, we cannot ignore their fields of foods. That is why they (especially islands) have little space and resources to yield them. The Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries releases food self-sufficiency ratios almost every year. It is said one of the barometers of the yields of foods. However, released figures have ambiguous points. So, this article redeems them and originally calculates the ratios about Tanegashima and Okinoerabujima. These islands have little “food-balance-ability” right now. That is because they product a few kinds of foods and much quantity of foods. This condition is especially unfavorable for islands and needs remedy in some ways.It also criticizes an article by Ohtsuji that subjects “The aim of Japanese agricultural administration” using food self-sufficiency ratios by mistaken.
