This page presents the Consumer Affairs Agency's initiatives on consumer education. Consumer education aims to equip individuals with knowledge and skills for safe consumption and foster people who contribute to society. The Act on Promotion of Consumer Education was enacted in December 2012, followed by the Cabinet's Basic Policy (June 2013), which ensures access to consumer education across various settings—schools, homes, communities, and workplaces—throughout life. The page also addresses food loss and waste reduction efforts. Japan generates 4.64 million tons of food waste annually, equivalent to 1.3 times global food assistance. With per capita waste of 102g daily, reducing food loss is essential for resource conservation and environmental protection through the national campaign 'NO-FOODLOSS PROJECT.'
