Japan Aims To Reduce Food Loss At Businesses by 60%
Japan's agriculture and environment ministries on Monday released draft guidelines on reducing the country's annual food loss at food-related businesses by 60 percent from the fiscal 2000 level by fiscal 2030, local media reported.
日本的農業和環境部門週一發佈了草案指南,計劃到2030財政年度將與食品相關的企業每年的食品浪費減少到2000財政年度水平的60%。
The current goal calls for halving annual food loss at businesses from the fiscal 2000 level to 2.73 million tons by fiscal 2030, which outpaced the target and dropped to 2.36 million tons in fiscal 2022, Jiji Press said.
目前的目標要求到2030財年將企業年食品損失從2000財年的水平減半,降至273萬噸,而這一目標在2022財年已超額完成,降至236萬噸,時事通訊社表示。
The government aims to set a new target of 2.19 million tons by fiscal 2030, it added.
政府計劃到2030財政年度設定新的目標219萬噸。
To help meet the target, the government hopes to make it mandatory for food businesses to make efforts to change the widespread practice of rejecting foods and beverages unless there is a certain period remaining before the best-before date and to place orders for such products earlier, according to the report.
爲了幫助實現這一目標,政府希望強制要求食品企業努力改變拒絕接受食品和飲料的普遍做法,除非在最佳食用日期之前還有一定時間,並提前訂購此類產品。
Food loss happens at food-related businesses including food makers, retailers and restaurants, as well as at households.
食品浪費發生在食品製造商、零售商以及餐廳等與食品相關的企業,也發生在家庭中。
