To feed more than fertilizer ①

Food waste situation of Japan about the development of the environmental business market in China for eight days, we conducted a company visit from each region, but what I felt most in this time was that the leftovers (food loss) in the dinner surrounding the round table has decreased considerably. The reason is that eating habits which order the proper amount of food which wants to eat to reduce the foods loss are expanding if it hears it. Aside from that, the amount of food waste in our country remains the top class in the world.

How has the vast amount of food waste been processed in Japan now? It is said that food waste of 20 million to 2,500 million tons per year is discharged to the Japan not less than 40% food self-sufficiency rate from fertilizer to feed. This is one year's worth of food that will cover 80 million people in the world. By the way, nearly 20 million people died in the year due to hunger. About 70% of the children starve to death. More than half a million tons of food waste discharged in the Japan are from the food industry. The basic stance of this country is how to reduce the number of things that came out of this crime rather than the efforts to produce a huge waste of food. It's a guy called coping therapy. I followed the coping therapy. Speaking of recycling of food waste, there were many cases to be fertilizer, such as poor profitability as a business to ensure the quality of the fertilizer, recently increased livestock feed than fertilizer. Because the Japan relies on imports of about 90% or more of the feed, it is better to feed the fodder when considering the stable supply of feed, while soaring grain prices, the main ingredient in feed, will rebound into feed prices. The Government and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry have also recommended "eco-feed (feed of food residue)". In terms of re-resource technology, it is difficult to feed the food waste as a raw material is easily deteriorated and stable supply, and the influence on the meat quality in the nutritional balance side was a drawback, and it has been almost improved now. In addition to the "drying method" (liquid fertilizer) "silage adjustment (raw material is sealed, lactic acid fermentation to prevent the propagation of bacteria)" has been developed, among them, the demand for hog feed is rapidly increasing.
