The world is currently faced with a variety of issues pertaining to nutrition, including food shortages, malnutrition, population growth, diversification of dietary habits, threats to food safety, and the aging of society. Japan has tackled all of these issues over a relatively short period of time, devising various means to resolve them, thanks to the ingenuity and flexibility of the people of Japan. Nutrition has the power to provide health and happiness to people living today, as well as to future generations, as we head toward the 22nd century.
