BusinessWeek reports that when Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries issued a 62-page report “about the country’s worrisome dependence on food imports,” it added a twist. The Ministry summarized their findings in a four-minute animated video, which you can watch below.  Maybe Peter Orszag should try this for his first budget.

    Excellent video. The core message of self-sufficiency in food comes through strongly. Love how the zooming in and out effect mirrors the global problem – local solution concept.
