Abstract

In this article, the author, Yinji Li, discusses the vital role of small-scale fisheries in Japan and their unique “Umigyo” approach to sustainability. Li begins by highlighting the historical significance of “small is beautiful” in agriculture and how a similar ethos is emerging in the realm of small-scale fisheries. Whilst these small-scale fisheries are facing a number of challenges due to recent policy changes, Yinji argues that the concept of “Umigyo” offers a strategy for Japan to fulfill its responsibilities as a leader in marine and fisheries industries, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
