Sansei is a Japanese and North American English term used in parts of the world such as South America and North America to specify the children of children born to ethnic Japanese in a new country of residence. The nisei are considered the second generation; the children of at least one nisei parent are called Sansei. Sansei are the first generation of whom a high percentage are mixed race, since their parents were born and raised in America themselves; the character and uniqueness of the sansei is recognized in its social history. Although the earliest organized group of Japanese emigrants settled in Mexico in 1897, the four largest populations of Japanese and descendants of Japanese immigrants live in Brazil, the United States and Peru. Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside Japan, numbering an estimate of more than 1.5 million, more than that of the 1.2 million in the United States. The Sansei Japanese Brazilians are an important part of that ethnic minority in that South American nation.

The majority of American Sansei were born during the Baby Boom after the end of World War II. The Sansei were forceful activists in the redress movement, which resulted in an official apology to the internees. In some senses, the Sansei seem to feel they are caught in a dilemma between their "quiet" Nisei parents and their other identity model of "verbal" Americans. In the United States, a representative Sansei is General Eric Shinseki, the 34th Chief of Staff of the United States Army and former United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs, he is the first Asian American in U. S. history to be a four-star general, the first to lead one of the four U. S. military services. Within Japanese-Canadian communities across Canada, three distinct subgroups developed, each with different sociocultural referents, generational identity, wartime experiences. Among the 80,000 Peruvians of Japanese descent, the Sansei Japanese Peruvians comprise the largest number. Japanese-Americans and Japanese-Canadians have special names for each of their generations in North America.

These are formed by combining one of the Japanese numbers corresponding to the generation with the Japanese word for generation. The Japanese-American and Japanese-Canadian communities have themselves distinguished their members with terms like Issei and Sansei which describe the first and third generation of immigrants; the fourth generation is called Yonsei and the fifth is called Gosei. The Issei and Sansei generations reflect distinctly different attitudes to authority, non-Japanese involvement, religious belief and practice and other matters; the age when individuals faced the wartime evacuation and internment is the single, most significant factor which explains these variations in their experiences and behaviour patterns. The term Nikkei was coined by a multinational group of sociologists and encompasses all of the world's Japanese immigrants across generations; the collective memory of the Issei and older Nisei was an image of Meiji Japan from 1870 through 1911, which contrasted with the Japan that newer immigrants had more left.

These differing attitudes, social values and associations with Japan were incompatible with each other. In this context, the significant differences in post-war experiences and opportunities did nothing to mitigate the gaps which separated generational perspectives. In North America since the redress victory in 1988, a significant evolutionary change has occurred; the Sansei, their parents, their grandparents, their children are changing the way they look at themselves and their pattern of accommodation to the non-Japanese majority. There are just over one hundred thousand British Japanese in London; the third generation of immigrants, born in the United States or Canada to parents born in the United States or Canada, is called Sansei. Children born to the Nisei were born after 1945, they speak English as their first language and are acculturized in the contexts of Canadian or American society. They tend to identify with Canadian or American values and expectations. Few speak Japanese and most tend to express their identity as Canadian or American rather than Japanese.

Among the Sansei there is an overwhelming percentage of marriages to persons of non-Japanese ancestry. The kanreki, a traditional, pre-modern Japanese rite of passage to old age at 60, was sometimes celebrated by the Issei and is now being celebrated by increasing numbers of Nisei and a few Sansei. Rituals are enactments of shared meanings and values and this Japanese rite of passage highlights a collective response among the Nisei to the conventional dilemmas of growing older; some responded to internment with political action. We build new lives. Why complain when it rains? This is. -- Lawson Fusao Inada, Japanese American Historical Plaza, Oregon. The sansei became known as the "activist generation" because of their large hand in the redress movement and individua

The FAO Country Profiles are a multilingual web portal which repackages the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations vast archive of information on its global activities in agriculture and food security in a single area and catalogues it by country and thematic areas. The organization's purpose is to offer decision-makers and project formulators around the world a fast and reliable way to access country-specific information on national food security situations without the الارادة to search individual databases and systems, it gives added-value to FAO's wealth of information by providing an easy-to-use interface containing interactive maps and charts. FAO has always highlighted information and Knowledge sharing as priority areas in fighting hunger and achieving food security. In this context, FAO identified that countries could improve their national programmes on agriculture and food security if they could access FAO's information through a cross-sectoral country-based approach.

However, despite the existence of a large number of country-based information systems in FAO, the information managed by the various systems lacked integration. Information tended to be generated and used in a circumscribed manner and tailored to a specific system, department or sector; the FAO Country Profiles portal called FAO Country Profiles and Mapping Information System, was launched in 2002 responding to the Organization's need to provide FAO web site's users an easy to use mechanism to find FAO country-specific information without the need to search individual FAO web sites, databases or systems. The system was designed to integrate analytical and multilingual information with thematic databases and digital map repositories and to facilitate access to information on multiple factors contributing to national food insecurity. Since its launch, the system has grown by incorporating more data sources; this was achieved thanks to a corporate effort to reduce information silos and the adoption of international standards for country-based information management throughout the Organization.

The methodology behind the FAO Country Profiles is rather simple. The FAO Country Profiles covers Associated Nations. Once a country is selected, the portal presents to the user documents, news feeds, statistical data, project details and maps from relevant FAO databases and systems for the selected country and categorized according to thematic areas; the thematic areas are grouped in two categories: FAO Core Activities: these correspond to FAO's main areas of expertise, such as, natural resources, agriculture, forestry and technical cooperation. This grouping is based on the work of the corresponding FAO departments. Global issues: these are themes that FAO identified as priority areas for action, include biodiversity, climate change and pests, emergency and aid, food security and safety and prices, water management; these priority areas correspond to FAO's strategic response to a fast-changing world where issues ranging from biotechnology to climate change and trade present new challenges and choices to governments and the general public.

Country pages integrate the following thematic profiles and systems. Aquastat Country Profiles: The AQUASTAT country profiles describe the state of water resources and agricultural water use in the respective country. Special attention is given to water resource and drainage sub-sectors. Biotechnology Country Profiles: The objective of the profiles is to provide a platform on which developing country biotechnology-related policies and activities can be accessed, directing the user to key, updated sources of information. BIODEC Biotechnologies in Developing Countries: FAO-BioDeC is a database meant to gather, store and disseminate, updated baseline information on the state-of-the-art of crop biotechnology products and techniques, which are in use, or in the pipeline in developing countries; the database includes about 2000 entries from 70 developing countries, including countries with economies in transition. Country Pasture/Forage Resource Profiles: The Country Pasture/Forage Resource Profile provides a broad overview of relevant general, topographical and agro-ecological information with focus on livestock production systems and the pasture/forage resources.

FAO Corporate Document Repository: The FAO Corporate Document Repository houses FAO documents and publications, as well as selected non-FAO publications, in electronic format. FAO Projects in the country: From the Field Programme Management Information System. FAO Terminology - Names of Countries: In order to standardize and harmonize the vast quantity of terms used in FAO documents and publications, the Organization developed the terminology database FAOTERM; the Corporate NAMES OF COUNTRIES database aims at facilitating the consultation and harmonization of country names throughout the Organization. Fisheries and Aquaculture Country Profiles: FAO's Fisheries and Aquaculture Department prepares and publishes Fishery and Aquaculture Country Profiles; each profile summarizes the Department's assessment of activities and trends in fisheries and aquaculture for the country concerned. Economic and demographic data are based on World Bank sources. Forestry Country Profiles: The forestry country profiles provide detailed information on forests and the forest sector: forest cover, forest management, policies and trade, more - in all some 30 pages
