概要 Modern agriculture has increased food production significantly for the past several decades, but there are still many people in hunger and cannot afford them food properly. The number of people in und...ernourishment around world reported by FAO in2015 is about 795 million people. Thus, about one-ninth of people in the world did not access enough food. The majority of hunger people lives in developing countries where 12.9% of the population is undernourished. In order to achieve food security, agricultural policy makers have focused on increasing agricultural productivity, but have ignored the importance of food waste management. It would be impossible to supply proper food without controlling food wastes because more than 40 percent of food has wasted after production. The objectives of this study are: (1) to identify the determinants of food and wastes; (2) to analyze policy impacts on food loss and wastes empirically. For these purposes, this study focused on two Modern agriculture has increased food production significantly for the past several decades, but there are still many people in hunger and cannot afford them food properly.

The objectives of this study are: (1) to identify the determinants of food and wastes; (2) to analyze policy impacts on food loss and wastes empirically. For these purposes, this study focused on two policy interventions, volume-based waste fee system and separate collection of food wastes. This study estimated a dynamic panel model to analyze two policy intentions. Empirical results indicate both policies are successful to reduce food wastes and waste management expenses, and also increase the recycling of food waste. In particular, an economic incentive policy is effective to minimize the amount of food wastes. Because food waste is closely related to food consumption behavior, we should prepare comprehensive strategies of government regulation and economic incentives as well as consumer education to change food consumption and waste behaviors.続きを見る
