Achieving Food Loss Reduction Goals: A Seminar by the Ministry of Environment

Inviting Tatsuhiro Murai, an Assistant Director of the Resource Recycling Division at Japan’s Ministry of the Environment, the event promises to provide insights into the national efforts aimed at mitigating food waste.

Following the enactment of the Food Loss Reduction Promotion Act (Law No. 19 of 2019), a national movement has been established to tackle this issue.
