・What are their main activity/events?
Food for All
→Food Bank activity (intermediate food
surplus and food shortage)
Second Harvest Japan
→Food Bank activity, the support for the
Great East Japan Earthquake or Harvest Kitchen (the activity to provide hot
food for homeless people).
・How do they deal with the problem of food
waste?
Both Food for All and Second Harvest Japan
do Food Bank activity.
In Food Bank activity, it is dealt with
processed food such as canned goods, fresh foods such as vegetables or fruits, disaster
prevention stockpile, grains such as rice or bread and frozen foods. They cope with
food manufacturer, wholesalers and importers and urge them to donate surplus
food.
There are a lot of merits. For example, one
of them is that it is possible to reduce the number of food waste. Another one
is that it is good for the environment.
Actually, the number of dealing food is
increased to 3152 tons in 2012.
・How would you be able to help/volunteer
for these organizations?
First, I can donate money. According to the
Second Harvest Japan, if I donate 1000 yen, it is possible to provide ten times
the amount of money equivalent foods.
Second, I can donate foods. What we can
donate is the same as what is dealt in Food Bank activity.
Third, I can donate time. Many kinds of
activities are introduced such as packaging, delivering or distributing foods. Everyone,
who is over 12 years old, can participate. There are many things we can do and
it seems to be the easiest donation to try of all these three.
・Which group seems to be the most active?
I think it is Second Harvest Japan. It is because
various kinds of activities are reported. Once we see their site, we can understand
the concrete number and their activities in detail.
I think it's very good that you put the graph cause it's easier to understand :)
返信削除I also thought it was great that you included the useful graph that showed the growing problem of food waste at a glance. It was nice of you to insert the link to 2HJ as well. It's interesting that children as young as 12 years old can volunteer for 2HJ. I wonder how many children are volunteering with them. Perhaps some schools organize "service learning" opportunities at 2HJ with their students. I wish I had such a chance when I was in elementary school.
