Message from the chairperson | Currently, there are approximately 120 million Japanese people, but in 50 years’ time there will be approximately 80 million people. Of the 80 million people, 40% will be 60 years and above, and 30% will be young people before their transition to the labor force. This means that the remaining 30% of people in this country must feed the 70% of people. The period of economic development of countries in Asia has ended, and it is likely that people in the inner regions of China will also be able to eat decent food, and there will be a population explosion in India and Africa. By then, Japan’s current food self-sufficiency ratio of 39% is expected to be dropped to about 19%, and there are concerns of whether or not children in Japan will starve? In response to this issue, this corporation will work so that chefs of various fields can come together and contribute to cultural development, so that, looking 50 and 100years ahead, the generation of our grandchildren can experience the rich diet we have now in Japan. Chairman:Yoshihiro Murata |
About the logo |
The theme of this logo design is “incomplete crystal”. The history of Japanese food has been built upon predecessors receiving various cultural influences in Japanese food culture. ALL JAPAN FOOD ASSOCIATION, which is the all-encompassing assembly of culinary professionals of various genres, are somewhat “crystals*” of the history of Japanese food. However, these crystals are by no means complete. The history of food culture in Japan will be inherited for many generations in the future, and will continue to hybridize and evolve by receiving influences of culture and time in relation to food across the world. *A metaphor used for the accumulation of efforts in Japanese (Refer to Logo) |
