In Japan, local governments have asked restaurants to become “Food Loss Prevention Restaurant (FLPR)” to help reduce food loss. However, this activity has not met positive results. Thus, local governments struggle to increase the number of FLPR.
The objective of this research is to identify the current challenges. It seeks to find effective approaches to local governments to increase the number of FLPR in Tokyo 23 wards, where annual cost of eating at restaurants is highest in Japan. The statistical results show that effective ways of promoting FLPR can be done through cooperation with restaurant associations and shortening the application period. Whereas the wards had not followed up FLPR’s activity. They had not shared their experience and knowledge with other wards.
