Seminar on Agricultural GHG Reduction

The Japan Planning Institute (JPI) is hosting an important seminar on August 20, 2025, from 09:30 to 11:30, discussing the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' (MAFF) initiatives for global greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction in the agricultural sector through the innovative framework of “MIDORI∞INFINITY.” The seminar will feature Daisuke Takahashi, the Assistant Director of the Green Food System Strategy Group at MAFF, who will elaborate on the ministry's efforts.

Purpose of the Seminar

As global attention toward food and agriculture intensifies, particularly in the lead-up to COP30, which will take place in November 2025 in Belém, Brazil, the Japanese government is emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices. MIDORI∞INFINITY aims to promote decarbonization investments in the agriculture and food sectors while expanding the market for companies involved in climate change business. This seminar will provide attendees with in-depth insights into the vision of MIDORI∞INFINITY and the initiatives being undertaken by the newly formed consortium for overseas deployment of GHG reduction technologies in agriculture.
