- One action that did not increase farmland in Japan was industrialization in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
- As Japan underwent rapid industrial growth and urban expansion, more emphasis was put on developing industries and residential areas, rather than expanding agricultural land. On the contrary, industrialization often led to the conversion of some agricultural land into industrial or urban areas, thereby actually reducing the amount of available farmland.
