[Menu] (planned) ・Hyderabadi Chicken Kutch Biryani ・Pork Vindaloo What is VEGESH TOKYO “VEGESH TOKYO” focuses on “ensuring food security,” which has become unstable due to various factors such as climate change and changes in the international situation, as an important theme that is directly connected to the lives of the Japanese people. In addition, Tokyo has a low food self-sufficiency rate of 0% (*Note 1), as well as many other issues such as traffic congestion and a shortage of labor in logistics, so it is also sustainable from the perspective of rising prices and environmental burden. We believe that possible measures are required. We believe that these issues can be solved by promoting the development of supply chains for Tokyo-produced agricultural products in Tokyo and building regional ecosystems. We will build a logistics system using joint delivery, create a system that eliminates the burden of shipping costs so that consumers can easily purchase products, and promote local production for local consumption within Tokyo. Furthermore, VEGESH TOKYO is collaborating with unerry Co., Ltd., a smart service implementation promotion company for the Tokyo Metropolitan Smart Service Implementation Promotion Project “Be Smart Tokyo”, which is implemented by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Digital Services Bureau. Utilizing the real behavioral data platform operated by unerry, we will work to improve services through data analysis and disseminate information to those who need this service. *Note 1: Refer to food self-sufficiency rate by prefecture for FY2021 (approximate value) and FY2020 (final value)
