Prediction of Rice Production Variation in East and Southeast Asia under Global Warming
Background and Objectives:
Strong current concerns exist about the effects of global warming and land modification on food production, particularly rice production in East and Southeast Asia, as well as the supply and demand of food in Japan in the future.In this international workshop, on the basis of the results of a research project entitled gTechnological developments for prediction of food production change caused by global environmental changesh completed in FY 2005, we discuss the above-mentioned issues from the following viewpoints: climate change scenarios; water resources and soil environments under global warming conditions; factors of rice growth inhibition such as damage caused by insects; physiological effects due to carbon dioxide production and its effect on the social and economic fields.
Furthermore, to effectively apply the framework of ginternational cooperationh developed in this research project to a current research project started in FY 2006 entitled, gModeling rice-based agro-ecosystem responses to climate change and risk assessment of rice productionh, we discuss the system of international cooperation and its significance, concrete means of coordination and cooperation, and cooperation methods. We also provide material for discussion to form a consortium for agricultural environmental research in Monsoon Asia currently promoted by the National Institute of Agro-Environmental Sciences.
