Rural Rural –– Urban Systems through Biomass Utilization in AsiaUrban Systems through Biomass Utilization in AsiaWhile the world-wide demand for biomass such as biofuel made of corn sugarcane and oil palmof corn, sugarcane and oil palm is growing, it is predicted that unused agricultural residues and abandoned arable land maabandoned arable land may increase in developing countries due to changes in diet and rural f ifarming systems. Biomass use matters relationship between rural and urban areas not only through material and energy exchanges, but also through history culture traditionthrough history, culture, tradition and social context of each region or country.

Consequences of ChangeConsequences of ChangeFunction, use and value will diminish with the decline and

disappearance.Impact on national / local economy– Impact on national / local economy.• e.g., food: self-sufficiency rate of vegetables in Japan declined

from 100% in 1965 to 82% in 2003, and that of mushrooms does from 115% to 77% in the same period (Japan MAFF 2004)from 115% to 77% in the same period (Japan MAFF, 2004).

– Loss of biodiversity.– Erosion of cultural heritage: traditional knowledge, diet

lt f ti l tculture, festivals, etc.– Disasters (attacks by bears, destruction to food crops by

monkeys).– Increasing the gap between rural and urban areas.
