Into the book
Although production is so high that one might think there would be a surplus of rice, Indonesia is today a rice importer.
This is because the population is approximately 280 million and the residents' preference for rice is so high that rice consumption far outweighs production.
In recent years, the rice shortage has become more severe.
It's because of the El Niño phenomenon.
…In Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, news reports say that a nasi goreng street vendor has raised prices but reduced the portions he serves.
If you raise your prices, your customers will notice right away, so this is how you maintain your profits.
This is called 'shrinkflation'.
--- pp.36-38
Vindaloo, a pork dish, was originally enjoyed by Catholics in Goa, but Hindus and Muslims soon fell in love with its unique flavor.
Of course, the materials were changed to suit their doctrine.
For example, use coconut vinegar instead of wine and use lamb or chicken instead of pork.
Fish curry also has different ingredients and flavors depending on religion.
In India, the caste system, a hereditary social status system, still exists, and it is said that many Brahmins, the Hindu priestly class, do not eat onions or garlic.
Because the scent is so strong, it is believed to cloud the mind.
However, Catholics in Goa add a lot of onions and garlic to fish curry dishes to remove the fishy smell.
--- pp.75-76
Unlike the west coast maritime climate, which has evenly distributed rainfall throughout the year, the Mediterranean climate has sunny, dry summers and frequent rain in winters.
Even if the temperature is high in midsummer, it is relatively comfortable if you avoid the scorching sun and go into a shaded area or indoors.
In winter, the humidity is high, but it is not very cold.
This is why the Mediterranean climate is considered the most comfortable climate for human activities.
It is for the same reason that many famous summer resorts are concentrated along the coasts of Mediterranean climate regions, including Naples.
This climate has a positive effect not only on health but also on food culture and ingredients.
Even if you just look at Neapolitan pizza, the main ingredients like tomatoes and olive oil are very tasty thanks to the region's Mediterranean climate.
--- pp.97-98
As the thick ice sheets covering Greenland continue to melt, exposing the land, there are projections that various underground resources such as natural gas, oil, and rare earth elements can be mined.
There are also projections that the ice-free Arctic Ocean will make navigation much easier, leading to significant growth in shipping and tourism.
This change would bring in a lot of money, much more than the increase in agricultural production.
So some people see climate change as an opportunity for Greenlandic independence.
Currently, they depend on imports for almost all their necessities and food, and receive about $600 million in subsidies from the Danish government each year to barely keep the local economy afloat. However, if they develop new industries and become financially sound, they could become independent from Denmark and establish their own country.
Of course, not all future prospects are optimistic.
…will the dream that climate change will turn Greenland into a 'green land' ever come true?

Publisher's Review
Is the reason Neapolitan pizza's tomato sauce is so delicious thanks to Mount Vesuvius?
A burger joint in Goa, India, sells fish curry rice?
Is there a reason why the giant artificial island Mansour invested in is shaped like a date palm?
Thirteen different foods from different climates
Read about the geography, history, religion, economy, culture, and values of countries around the world!
When traveling to other countries, there is the pleasure of eating food made with ingredients that you can't find in your own country.
I feel happy because it is similar to Korean food, and I am also addicted to the unfamiliar but special taste and aroma.
Regional foods that are famous enough to represent a country have something in common.
It's the climate.
Climate has a great influence on the nature of each region as well as the food of the people living there.
Just as the spicy flavor of tantan noodles, which originated in Sichuan, the home of Fubao, is due to the humid weather, the savory flavor of the San Marzano tomatoes in Neapolitan pizza lies beneath the land covered in volcanic ash from Vesuvius.
Cultures, government policies, national histories, and economies around the world can also be understood through the lens of climate geography.
For example, every shop on the beach in the Indian state of Goa, a developed tourist destination, sells fish curry rice.
This is a measure taken by the Goan government to ensure that the region's unique culinary culture, which combines fish brought by the Arabian Sea and monsoon winds, rich spices and rice, is not overshadowed by menus catering to the tastes of tourists.
The date palm-shaped artificial island, built at a staggering cost by Prince Mansour of the United Arab Emirates, is a testament to the history of a people who, despite their remarkable development through oil exports, have long lived in the desert and relied on date palms near oases.
It also hints at the UAE's move to foster new industries such as aviation, tourism, and finance as oil consumption declines due to the climate crisis.
Having visited 116 cities in 25 countries, including Indonesia, where emerald seas stretch out beneath the dazzling sun, and New Zealand, where flocks of sheep graze leisurely, the author invites readers to 13 regions with diverse climates.
It introduces regional specialties in a concise yet humorous way, and provides the fun of exploring the geographical backgrounds that shaped the development of those specialties.
Discover why shrimp farming spread to Thailand in spicy and sour Tom Yum Kung, and understand the inflation in Argentina that made it impossible to enjoy beef at a tenth of the price in Korea through the history of asado, a dish blessed by the pampas.
Even young people who thought world geography was a complex subject with a lot to memorize will discover the fascinating and three-dimensional charm of geography as they follow this enriching journey.
From the savory and salty Indonesian nasi goreng,
Even the Inuit vitamin Maktak
Through foods that are changing due to global warming
A geography story that makes us think about the climate crisis
The problem is that thirteen foods with unique flavors and the lives they lead are being shaken by global warming.
Indonesia, the world's fourth-largest rice producer, is having to import rice as its rice crops are being hit by abnormal weather caused by El Niño.
The amount of nasi goreng that was generously distributed also decreased.
Inuit, who survived on whale blubber in the frigid Arctic Ocean where not a single blade of grass grows, are drowning in the sea while hunting on the thin, melting ice.
Omul, a popular tourist attraction on the Trans-Siberian Railway and a staple food for Buryats, has disappeared from Lake Baikal by nearly half.
The book tells the current state of climate change.
At the same time, it captures the inequalities hidden within the climate crisis.
It shows that the situation in which the Inuit living in Nunavut, Canada, had to go further out to sea to find maktak was due to the colonial rule of white Europeans.
The story of how the efforts of the Ainu people of Hokkaido to revive their salmon fishing traditions were blocked by the salmon conservation policy that was disappearing due to changing water temperatures points to the existence of Japan's policy of forced ethnic assimilation.
What is the way to protect the precious food produced by the land, water, sun, and wind, and the people who depend on it? Let's ponder this with "World Geography Lessons from a Delicious Restaurant" and move forward on the path to becoming climate citizens.
