"～Let's eliminate leftover food! ～Reduce Food Loss and Waste mottECO FESTA 2024"
Report on the Booth Exhibition of Institute for SDGs Promotion
On July 29, 2024, mottECO FESTA 2024 was held on the 2nd floor of Hotel Metropolitan Edmont (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), hosted by "the Consortium for the Promotion of mottECO" (mottECO普及コンソーシアム), an industry-government-academia alliance.
The purpose of the event was to raise awareness about the SDGs, resource recycling, and other environmental issues, with a focus on food loss and waste reduction. Booths introducing food loss and waste reduction efforts by related ministries, universities, and businesses were exhibited, and panel discussions, lectures, and tastings of "Mottainai" menus(*) were held.
*"Mottainai" almost equals to the adjective, "wasting" or "wasteful" in English. "Mottainai menus" means dishes whose lefetover ingredients are used once again rather than just disposed.

Institute obtained an invitation from Seven & i Food Systems Co., Ltd. and we exhibited a poster summarizing the university's effort to reduce food loss and waste. In addition, we distributed materials on our activities, including creative works by OCHA-SDGs Student Committee, to promote Institute's efforts: Institute leaflet, activity report, handbill of "Recipes for the wise"(※②), OCHA-SDGs Student Committee activity report, OCHA-SDGs calendar, etc.

（Interaction with visitors）
"MottECO" is an initiative recommended by the central ministries (Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and Consumer Affairs Agency) that aims to reduce food loss and waste through public-private partnership by encouraging people to take home leftover food at restaurants, as well as to eat up or order the right amount. Last year, Institute exchanged opinions on this project through a visit to ITO Training Center. (FY2023 Activity Report(J): pp.53-55)
We will continue to collaborate with Seven and i, utilizing students' unique ideas on how "Seikatsu-sha" (≒consumers) are elaborating on food loss and waste reduction.
*Institute for SDGs Promotion has concluded a comprehensive partnership agreement on SDGs with Seven & i Holdings Co. (The detail is here(J))
