The limited arable land in Japan has influenced their culture by fostering a deep connection to nature and a tradition of efficient land use. It has also led to practices like terraced farming and intensive agriculture. This limitation has shaped their culinary traditions, focusing on fresh, seasonal ingredients and preserving food through techniques like fermentation.
The word "arable" is an adjective. It is used to describe land that is suitable for plowing and farming.
The dominant economic activity associated with high-Island culture is agriculture, particularly terraced farming on mountainous terrain. This type of farming allows high-Island communities to cultivate crops such as rice, vegetables, and fruits on steep slopes, making the most of limited arable land. Additionally, high-Island cultures may also engage in fishing or livestock rearing to supplement their agricultural activities.
Some resources that are considered scarce in Germany include arable land, natural gas, and certain minerals. Additionally, skilled labor in specific industries, such as technology and engineering, can also be limited.
The Dutch call their area of land reclaimed from the sea "polders." These are low-lying lands enclosed by dikes where water is drained to create arable land. Polders are a notable feature of the Dutch landscape and have helped expand their habitable territory.

Land is an example of a limited resource because we only have so much of it. Ecologically productive land is even more limited because not all land is arable.
That it is an island nation, and with little arable land are two features that have shaped it's culture and history.

Japan's low arable land reflects that most of the country is uninhabitable forests and mountains, thus decreasing its capacity for population density. However, Japan's arable land to population ratio is many times more favorable than, e.g., China, so the food production aspect of arable land is not the controlling factor. Instead, it is the inhabitability of much of Japan's non-arable land which diminishes Japan's population density.
Arable is Fern's father.
