The Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred on March 11, 2011, triggered the Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident (hereafter referred to as the “FDNPP accident”), releasing a large amount of radioactive material into the environment. As a result, industries that support our food supply, such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and livestock farming, were significantly affected, making the ensuring of food safety an urgent issue.
 
Since the FDNPP accident, the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Tokyo has conducted extensive research to understand the behavior of radioactive substances and to develop measures for reducing radioactive contamination in crops. This book represents the first book in a series, summarizing approximately one and a half years of data and research activities from the early stages following the FDNPP accident.
 
The series consists of four books, all of which are freely available as open-access publications. This first book has already been downloaded over 100,000 times.
 
Regarding the publication of this book, the website provides the following description:
 
Following the Fukushima nuclear accident, a large volume of monitoring data has been collected about the soil, air, dust, and seawater, along with data about an immense number of foods supplied to the market. Little is known, however, about the effect of radioactive fallout on agriculture, information about which is vital. Although more than 80% of the damaged area is related to agriculture, in situ information specifically for agriculture is scarce. This book provides data about the actual movement and accumulation of radioactivity in the ecological system—for example, whether debris deposited on mountains can be a cause of secondary contamination, under what conditions plants accumulate radioactive cesium in their edible parts, and how radioactivity is transferred from hay to milk. Because agriculture is so closely related to nature, many specialists with different areas of expertise must be involved in answering these questions. In the case of rice, researchers in rice cultivation as well as in soil, hydrology, and radioactivity measurement are working together to reveal the paths or accumulation of radioactivity in the field. For this purpose, the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences of 春雨直播app has diverse facilities available throughout Japan, including farmlands, forests, and meadowlands. Many academic staff members have formed groups to conduct on-site research, with more than 40 volunteers participating. This book presents the data collected from the only project being systematically carried out across Japan after the Fukushima accident.
