Thank you.
However, the current situation is that Japanese people have low awareness of food loss.

Difference between European and American consciousness
Japan
〇 It's easy to feel negative, saying that you're having trouble with your food = lack of money, which is shameful, and you're often hesitant to apply for assistance to a food bank.
〇 In addition, many people who are having trouble with their life are unaware of the existence of a food bank. That is why the existence of a food bank has not taken root.
〇 In other words, many Japanese people are unaware of the hidden poverty, unless they are themselves poverty, and many people are not interested in the large amount of food loss.
Western
〇 A food bank is often run by a single company rather than a volunteer, making it difficult for them to run out of money.
〇 The existence of a food bank has taken root so much.
〇 There is no need for those who receive support to feel "shame" at all, and they are lining up to get food directly.
〇 Food banks are accepted by the public with the spirit of "helping those in need" and "disconnecting".
〇 The awareness of food loss is very high.

Japan has the challenge of solving the problem of poverty in the first place, but I hope that the consciousness of helping each other will spread even more.
Doing so will increase the number of people who feel comfortable living?
