食品ロスについて知る・学ぶ | 消費者庁

This page provides educational resources about food loss from Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency. Japan discards 4.64 million tons of edible food annually, equivalent to 1.3 times the world's annual humanitarian food aid. Per capita, this equals approximately 102 grams of food wasted daily. Food loss causes resource depletion and environmental damage. Consumer preferences for excessive freshness contribute to the problem. Both consumers and businesses must cooperate to reduce waste. The agency offers educational materials, videos, guidelines, and recipes to promote awareness and encourage actions to eliminate food waste and build a society that reduces food loss.
