Answer to my questions 3

I’m going to answer to my 4 questions.

9 Which country does most emit food waste?

Let me quote from web site of World economic forum, “Not surprisingly, most of this wastage occurs in the developed world; per capita food waste by consumers (not including the production process) in Europe and North America is around 95-115kg per year, compared to just 6-11kg in sub-Saharan Africa and South/South-East Asia. Large amounts of food is still lost during the production process in developing countries, however, due to lack of infrastructure and poor equipment. Wastage at the consumption stage in these countries, meanwhile, is drastically less than developed nations”

As you can see, North America and Oceania is no1. But, think about per person, japan is also top class of food waste.

In addition, I found interesting article. In EU, Netherlands emit loss food most.

In 2010, 541kg of loss food were emitted per person.

14 What does farmer think about food waste?

They think that farming activity is effective to reduce food loos.

People who experienced it said that thanks to consciousness changes through farming activity, the leavings decreased. Farmers hope through this experience, they want people to feel as many things as possible.

Additionally, the original circulatory system, “Yasaikuru” started in japan, Kanagawa prefecture.

In this system, restaurants change raw garbage into compost, then offer them to farmers.
Farmers ship vegetables which were cultivated with the compost to restaurants.
They said that they wanted to establish this system.

15 How does producer feel about food waste?

I want to introduce two opinions.

1)Owner of 河野乾魚店, MUtsuko Kouno said “As a producer of dried fish, I want people to eat many kinds of fish dearly and deliciously.

To give information about recipe of dried fish, then to get interested in fish are effective for reduction food loss campaign.  “

2)前田農業合資会社, Shigeo maeda said

"I think there are people who don’t know the meaning of leftovers in the world.

It might be extreme, we should take actions while there are stockable foods in refrigerator. Leftovers shouldn’t mean just its vain. "
