    This document was written as a companion to the application of “The Ayu of Nagara River System, -The Connection Between Ayu and the People of the Satokawa-” which is seeking to be recognised as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS) by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations. The application has already been approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. In order to ensure the conservation and promotion of this agricultural heritage, the “Nagara River Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Promotion Association” as well as the “Pristine Nagara River Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Sector Players” have formed close ties together and this document lays out in detail the numerous efforts of the various members of these groups and other related parties.
