Japan: Japan Launches Greenhouse Gas Reduction Labeling System for Agricultural Products
On March 1, 2024, the Japan Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) launched a greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction labeling system for 23 domestically-produced agricultural products. Use of the label is voluntary, and producers may use the label to self-declare products that are produced with sustainable practices associated with lower GHG emissions than from conventional cultivation. The labeling system was developed in line with MAFF’s Green Food System (MIDORI) Strategy, and its efforts to foster consumer understanding of environmentally-friendly agricultural production efforts that reduce GHG emissions.
