    The Kabukuri Wetlands and Winter-flooded paddies, initiated in 1996 as a result of growing concern among migratory bird conservationists about the shrinking wetlands in Miyagi prefecture. Joined by local farmers, this core group worked to convince local policy makers of the need for an initiative to not only preserve Kabukuri Wetlands acreage but increase winter feeding grounds for migratory birds by working with farmers to restore surrounding rice paddies into semi-natural man-made wetlands dur ing the non-farming winter months. And thus, the initiative was born on this historic Osaki plain of Miyagi prefecture, 30 km from the Pacific Ocean in what is referred to as Tohoku (northeastern) Japan.

    Of the essential material needs of humankind, the basic requirement is for an adequate supply of air, water and food. People have free access to the air they breathe. However, access to drinking-water and food, while easily obtained for some, is difficult for many. In addition to being physically available, these materials should also be of acceptable quality and continuously so. Hunger and diseases have affected humankind since the dawn of history. Throughout time, there have been p eriods of famine leading to suffering and starvation, making the fight against hunger and the diseases caused by malnutrition a permanent challenge. For many centuries until about 1800, the average grain yield was about 800 kg/ha, providing food only for a few people. The main problems were the low fertility of most soils (mainly caused by the depletion of nutrients) and the great yield losses from crop diseases and pests.
