In recent years system theory has emerged as a technique for analyzing, optimizing, and managing with greater efficiency and stability the enormous economic and social structures and mechanisms within which we live today. Macroeconomic systems include population movement, resources, cities, housing, transportation, regional development, and environmental systems, while food supply or demand and medicine are among the microeconomic systems. These are also included in the administrative or diministrative system in the form of small sub-systems such as the system for food production, supply and distribution and the urban transportation system. From the broad topic of the destruction and rebuilding of 20th century systems, I chose to study Japan's wartime food management system, centering on the Staple Food Control Act. Essentially, I considered the problem of how to initiate fundamental reforms, 50 years after the establishment of this law, that would result in the creation of a robust system that is simple, efficient, and capable of adapting to structural changes. Specifically, I felt that the judgement of whether this system is functioning in a stable manner or whether it has become unstable should be made based on judgements from three separate angles: economic, political and cultural. For each of the three categories I gave the system a rating ranging from (-)2 to (+)2. (+)2 would indicate that the system isfunctioning in a very stable manner, while (-)2 means that it is extremely unstable. In addition, the three stages of rice production, distribution (including pricing) and consumption were calculated and given an overall evaluation. Based on these criteria, at the time of the establishment of the Staple Food Control Act in 1942, the three sectors received the following ratings: production (+)3; distribution (+)1; and consumption (-)2. Due to increased productivity and the larger harvests that resulted following World War II, however, a rice surplus developed, and during the period from 1965 to 1990 each of these three sectors, or sub-systems were in the minus range. Today, improvements and reforms in the production, distribution and consumption of rice are being studied from economic, political and cultural angles. If these reforms succeed I believe it will be possible to obtain overall rankings of (+)3 in terms of production.
