"The term satoyama has gained wide currency in Japan in the post-war decades as a term describing a sphere of “encultured” nature that has traditionally existed on the periphery of rural settlements."
It's "a model of sustainable resource management based on traditional methods of agriculture. The satoyama concept is used to demonstrate that Japan not only possesses the knowledge for living in harmony with nature, but also offers a model of sustainable resource management that the rest of the world can learn from."
This interests me very much. I read about satoyama on Envirohistorynz which refers to an abstract by Catherine Knight. I've not been able to find out much more but if anone knows more about satoyama, I'd love to hear it!
