Write an essay in which you discuss the characteristics and distribution of Japan's population, as well as the country's urban-agriculture dilemma.
What will be an ideal response?
Japan, with a population of about 128 million people, is about the size of California (with about 37 million people). Most of Japan (85%) is forested mountains, leaving only a relatively small area on the coastal plains for settlement. Because this land area is so small, every human activity is tightly packed into it. These activities include homes and apartments, farms, factories, recreation, and everything else you can imagine. Japan is experiencing a demographic
crisis which will worsen in coming decades as there are not a enough young people to replace the growing elderly population, placing a great strain on social services as there will be a smaller workforce supporting a larger elderly population.
