Sectors: Agriculture, Cross Cutting Area, LULUCF, Rural
The document also 1) encourages circular economy with increased use of local resources, 2) aims to contribute to the 2050 goal of carbon neutrality via a reduction in the use of chemical pesticides/fertilisers, , and 3) seeks to disseminate energy saving/precision technologies.
On top of a sectoral carbon neutral target, the strategy sets the following goals by 2050:
- 50% reduction in risk-weighted use of chemical pesticides by dissemination of the Integrated Pest Management and newly-developed alternatives
- 30% reduction in chemical fertilizer use
- Increase in organic farming to 1Mha
- At least 30% enhancement in productivity of food manufacturers (by 2030)
- Sustainable sourcing for import materials (by2030)
- 90% and more superior varieties and F1 plus trees in forestry seedling
- 100% of artificial seedling rates in aquaculture of Japanese eel, Pacific bluefin tuna, etc.
