Food Security and Industrial Clustering in Northeast Asia (New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives, 6)

Annotation This book integrates diversified methodologies of area studies, regional economic development, regional science, and related fields to draw up a strategy for forming the "regional food industrial cluster" in Northeast Asia. This is done by assigning "innovation" to a core concept, with the basic problem of food security as the horizontal axis and the areas of Northeast Asia as the vertical axis. Specifically, the principle of "collaborative advantage" as a key factor is extracted from case studies on food industrial clustering in each area. As a final objective, a practical policy recommendation is presented while the theorization of the industrial cluster is developed. Therefore it is also a challenge to the old and new issue of food security which has been argued until now Front Matter....Pages i-xii Food Security and Collaborative Advantage: Scoping the Scene....Pages 1-18 Front Matter....Pages 19-19 Defining Japan’s Food Security in East Asia....Pages 21-32 Current Position and Future Direction of Agriculture in Northeast Asia....Pages 33-45 Analysis of China’s Food Supply and Demand Balance and Food Security....Pages 47-59 Korea’s Food Security Schemes....Pages 61-71 Front Matter....Pages 73-73 The Food System Based on Agriculture....Pages 75-85 The Network Structure of a Soybean Cluster in Hokkaido....Pages 87-94 The Competitive Advantages of Green Tea Clusters in Japan....Pages 95-110 Food and Health-Related Industry Clustering in Niigata Prefecture....Pages 111-127 Agricultural Industry Clusters in China....Pages 129-139 Industrial Agglomeration of the Food Industry in China: An Analysis of Data by Province....Pages 141-156 The Agricultural Industrialization of China’s Heilongjiang Province....Pages 157-165 Agricultural Production and Related Business by Public Firms: A Case Study on Xinhua Farm, Heilongjiang....Pages 167-178 Promotion Policies for Food Industry Cluster in Korea....Pages 179-196 The Trends and Potential for Food Industry Clusters in Korea....Pages 197-207 The Promotion of and Challenges for the Agricultural Senary Industrialization Policy in the Republic of Korea....Pages 209-223 Front Matter....Pages 225-225 Cluster Initiatives in Eastern Poland: Good Practices in Agriculture and Food-Processing Industry....Pages 227-240 Main Factors Affecting Food Industry Clustering in France....Pages 241-253 Industrial Cluster Analysis, Entrepreneurship and Regional Economic Development....Pages 255-282 This book integrates diversified methodologies of area studies, regional economic development, regional science, and related fields to draw up a strategy for forming the zregional food industrial clustery in Northeast Asia.
