The number of Japan’s agriculture workers has fallen some 60 percent over the past quarter of a century to below 2 million in 2016, the lowest on record since the government began keeping records, according to a recent survey.

The data show the government’s effort to increase the number of young farmers has yet to bear fruit while aged agriculture workers continue to leave the profession.

The decline in farmers also comes at a time of heightened concern in the industry over the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade pact, which is expected increase competition, and the government’s plan to abolish its policy of limiting rice production and to phase out related subsidies by 2018.

The survey compiled by Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries showed the number of agriculture workers fell to 1.92 million as of Feb. 1, down 8.3 percent from a year earlier. Japan had more than 7 million farmers in the mid-1970s, a figure that fell to 4.82 million in 1990 and to below 3 million in 2008.

The number of farmers dropped in all age brackets, except for those aged 65 to 69, which increased 6.2 percent with retirees entering the field.

Farmers aged 70 or older account for about a half of Japan’s total agriculture workers, yet the number aged 70 to 74 tumbled 12.5 percent to 280,700, while those 75 or older fell 8.8 percent to 604,800.

Which of the following was a result of the British Enclosure Movement?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Result of the British Enclosure Movement was Small farmers moved to cities

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Agricultural Revolution held in Britain was the British Enclosure Movement. In 1700 the British government started taking the communal land and making it privatized. At first the communal land was common to the public where everyone used for grazing.

But during British enclosure the pieces of lands from poor farmers were taken and cultivation on rotation basis was done in the large accumulated land. The wealthy farmers hence had a dramatized increase in food production. They also started industries and mines which later led to the industrial revolution. The small farmers were forced to move to cities.
