TRIAL 6 エクササイズ

In Japan, we can eat various kinds of food every day, and "food shortages" seem unrelated to us. But about 60% of our food is coming from abroad, and as is shown in the graph below, Japan's food self-sufficiency rate on a calorie basis is the lowest among the major advanced nations. Four countries have over 100% self-sufficiency rate, with Canada at the top followed by Australia. Two other countries, France and the USA, are over 100%, and Germany, the UK, Switzerland, and Korea follow in that order.
