Earth Day: What to do about waste in Japan’s food and beverage industry?

Описание: The truth about food waste in Japan will shock you. In the land of mottainai over 25 million tons of food is wasted each year. 6.5 million tons of this is actually edible. But instead, it is left to rot, emitting harmful greenhouse gases rather than feeding the undernourished in Japan. What can we do to stop this?

The webinar will introduce 4 key speakers from corporations, startups, and academia to give you an insightful discussion from various perspectives 🔎. Each speaker will introduce activities to fight food waste in Japan, followed by a short panel discussion around key questions relating to their activities.
