Via Online Journalism Review. 4 pages., Case examples include a periodical that investigated unregistered chemicals and found widespread use throughout Japan, even on "organic" farms. Started an online "Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Research Lab" as a virtual think tank to tackle the problem in a way that included the voices of everyday Japanese citizens. "The idea of connecting producers and consumers through civic journalism has become a standard approach to agriculture coverage in the Tohoku farming region."

Phase 1, INTERPAKS, Both research in agricultural technology and construction of land infrastructure are characterized by indivisibility, externality, and jointness in supply and utilization. The theory of public good economics of the Samuelson-Musgrave tradition tells us that the goods and services with such attributes cannot be supplied at socially optimum levels if the supply is left to private firms within a competitive market mechanism. Public investments are required to correct for such market failure. The need for public institutions to conduct adaptive research and to build and coordinate the use of irrigation systems is especially critical in Asian agriculture, where the possibility for farm producers to conduct such activities by themselves is limited. In this article, the author attempts to demonstrate the critical importance of adaptive research and land infrastructure investment in the process of diffusion of agricultural technology, drawing on the history of rice technology development in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea, in contrast to the more recent development of rice technology in South and Southeast Asia, which has been heralded as the "green revolution". He attempts to identify what institutions have to be evolved for satisfying the basic requirements for technology diffusion in agriculture, and to infer what forces were responsible for inducing such institutional evolution.

search through journal, A framework is proposed for incorporating the degree of market competition in evaluating milk promotion effectiveness. The imperfect competition model allows simultaneity in price and quantity with an endogenous fluid milk premium. The model's usefulness is demonstrated with Japanese generic milk promotion data. Results show a conventional exogenous-price or exogenous-premium model will underestimate returns to milk promotion. (original)
