In order to solve various food-related issues such as food loss and climate change, we believe that collaboration and collaboration between companies and the public and private sectors is necessary, and in 2022, we will launch the Food Sustainability Study Group. We continue to explore the future of sustainable food through events and other activities. This year, the third time, the event will be held over two days, October 21st (Monday) and 22nd (Tuesday). With the theme of “Co-creation and Collaboration for Food Sustainability,” we will have speakers from Japan and abroad who are leading experts in their respective fields at the forefront of their respective fields. Additionally, this year we will be holding a networking event and the Sustainnovation Pitch, a startup pitch contest that challenges food sustainability issues. Not only people working at food-related companies, people working on SDGs, sustainability, regional revitalization, and innovation in the food industry, people involved in management/organizational development, sustainable design, marketing, etc., but also people who are interested in solving future food issues. We look forward to your participation. ▽Each session schedule [Hall Venue] Schedule
