The environment surrounding food is changing rapidly, and the demand for securing food and keeping the balance of supply and demand is expected to grow on the global level. The diet of Japanese consumers is becoming increasingly diverse, and as more food ingredients and products are imported from overseas, we must also learn, think and act globally.
