Abstract

The objective of this study is to anticipate international negotiations and policy response in the next 20 years. The main results are as follows. Assuming the WTO negotiations proceed, it is possible to demand a shift to green box policies for domestic support measures and also aim to achieve a level that exceeds the level of existing EPA/FTA concessions. Assuming the WTO negotiations are not progressing, there is a possibility that EPA/FTA may further progress. It is most important for Japan to establish food security in order to supply food to Japanese citizens stably.
