Beschreibung:
This book introduces the Japanese urban food desert (FD). Currently, Japan has the most rapidly aging society in the world, with a shrinking population and food desert issues in connection with the isolation of the elderly people from their families and local communities. The types of food deserts that Japan is currently facing are likely to occur in many other countries under similar circumstances in the near future. This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers who are working on FD issues in Japan as well as in other countries. The book consists of 8 chapters, with each chapter covering a different aspect of FD, and it also includes case studies, one of which is the FD in Tokyo.
Includes food desert maps based on food access and local-level social capital
The definition of Japanese food desert issues.- The background of Japanese Food Desert Issues.- Food access and social capital.- Case Study 1 (Central Tokyo).- Case study 2 (a prefectural government city).- Local City.- Measures to address Food Desert Issues.
