Vol.8 Agricultural Landscapes, Agroecology, and the Resilience of Local Communities: Voices from Nakadori and Hamadori, Fukushima.
This booklet introduces new initiatives by farmers rooted in the land of Fukushima, in the Hamadori (Pacific coastal area) and Nakadori (inland area along the Pacific watershed) regions of Fukushima Prefecture. Examples presented in this volume indicate that traditional ecological knowledge and social networks can still contribute to the resilience of local communities under the extremely difficult circumstances of the ongoing radiation contamination caused by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident after the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. The contents of this volume also highlight regional differences in understanding the ongoing efforts of farmers within Fukushima Prefecture.
