I think you all know that achieving this goal will require a significant reduction in CO2 emissions. When we eat food every day CO2 is discharged in the process of making, transporting, and throwing away. Therefore, this fiscal year, we would like to consider the way to improve situation under the theme of "reducing food loss," said Yoshiki Mori, Chairman, Aeon 1% Club Foundation.In this first year, under the theme of "Creating the Future of Food from the Perspective of Reducing Food Losses," each participant came up with a "Declaration of Action for Reducing Food Losses".With the aim of realizing a sustainable society as a common global issue, for next three years, this program is conducted under the unified theme of "Creating a sustainable food future that contributes to the realization of a de-carbonized society."As a student living in Japan, especially, I tend to buy things that are very trendy right now. So, like those seasonal changes to bring about new trends, and I think the market competition really makes it easy for companies like overproduce," said Ryo Narukami, a Japanese student."I have a dream to be one of the representatives of Indonesia. This program, Asian Youth leaders always brings up a new topic that also discussed in the debate program that I think it will be great opportunity for me," said Indonesian student Tasya Diaudra Fira."The young generation is especially important because they are the foundation who will shape the future.
