JFS Newsletter No.166 (June 2016)
An estimated 6.42 million tons of food loss and waste is generated annually in Japan. This is about twice the 3.08 million tons of food provided by the United Nations World Food Programme as humanitarian aid in 2014. Yes, this huge amount of food is discarded every year in Japan. This month's JFS newsletter reports on Kuradashi.jp, an initiative that uses online shopping to reduce food loss while also promoting solutions to other social issues.
