Food loss and Food bank Chiba
Food Bank Chiba wants to help those who are having difficulty eating and aims to reduce food loss.
We have studied a lot about food loss.
And we arrived at an organization called "Food Bank".
Thank you.
However, the current situation is that Japanese people have low awareness of food loss.
Review of basic knowledge 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?
