Collective Action Japan

We're here to highlight efforts to reduce food loss and waste in support of the STOP! Food Loss and Waste project, a collective impact initiative. The project, a joint effort by members of the public, local governments, businesses, and social action organizations, was launched in support of targets set by the UN in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Japan’s Environment Ministry. Both call for halving food waste by the year 2030.
