Answer to Question 1

Advantages including the (possible) lowering of prices for the country's most important staple food, and greater quantities available. Disadvantages include a possible dependency established between Japan and other countries for the importation of rice; and the potential destruction of a cultural practice (rice farms). Advantages include the opening up of more space to relieve urban congestions and more space for industrial growth; and the replacement of a relatively unproductive economic activity (rice production) with something more efficient.
