Because they don't know about composting. Perhaps you need to talk to your local representatives about the harmfulness of burning and the benefits of alternatives. There's lots of info on the web in Japanese about composting.

I am not condoning this at all but...

 

you have to think about how much waste a farm will produce in a year. The composting process doesn't happen over night. Then what are they supposed to do with the soil? I don't see many Japanese house wanting to put in nice green lawns.

Wouldn't the composting stop though when the ground freezes? And in places in the mountains where some of you are saying the vallies are full of smoke the ground is going to be frozen in a few months for the winter.

 

I know with worms that in the winter they all move to the centre of the composter as a survival technique using eachother for body heat in a huge worm orgy. Not much composting going on then is there.

My mom had a worm farm for a few years. I don't know about the orgy bit but they have to do something to pass the winter months.
