| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This past year included some final fieldwork and data collection in Cambodia and Japan, including virtual and on-site visits to GI product producers and local organizers/officials. In Japan, this included sites in Aichi Prefecture, as well as virtual interviews in Kyushu. In Cambodia, data were gathered from officials at the Ministry of Commerce and Ecocert on new GI registrations.
Many conference visits were made this year to share research, including multiple presentations at the International Sociology Association (ISA) Congress in Melbourne (Australia), Food and Society Conference in Kuching (Sarawak, Malaysia), and Terroir Wine Conference in Southern Germany. The publications from this work on under review with journals currently or being revised. Updates have been posted to the project website: heritagefoodliteracy.com

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
This year, most final data were collected during fieldwork in both target countries, as well as an archive in Germany. With limited budget, three major international conference presentations were achieved in Asia, Australasia and Europe.
Publications and conference presentations were facilitated greatly by post-doctoral researchers and former visiting scholars at Kyoto University who contributed to research conceptualization and writing.
Publications are under review, somewhat slowly.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
This year will include only follow-up research and clarifications to complete data collection in Japan and Cambodia. The main goal is to present in conferences and cover publication costs using the final year's budget. Numerous collaborations with domestic and foreign researchers will yield numerous publications in 2024 and 2025, and likely a Special Journal issue concerning terroir outside of Europe.
