| Outline of Research at the Start |
Socio-economic precarity in Japan’s shrinking society has given rise to a range of alternative lifestyles that reject contemporary ideas of work and market dependency. One common feature of these lifestyles are IFPs. Despite many modern-day pressures for them to disappear, IFPs continue to exist for a reason, but science has yet to explain why this is the case.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The project investigated the ways in which informal food practices persist, evolve, contribute to health and well being, and form local food economies. Extensive fieldwork, spatial mapping, online surveys, conceptual and theoretical innovation, futures methods, and policy development methods were used to explore, understand, and theorize the role of informal food practices in current and future convivial lifestyles in rural and urban places in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Germany, and Italy. Major achievements include multiple published papers, presentations at academic research conferences, as well as on the ground action to better establish informal food practices in rural and urban communities.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
広範なフィールドワーク、事例研究、空間マッピングを通じて、本プロジェクトは、インフォーマルな食の実践（IFP）が農村および都市の景観、緑地、持続可能なライフスタイルの再生に重要な役割を果たしていることを明らかにした。IFPはまた、将来の食料システムをどのように形成すべきかという農村・都市住民の考えにおいても価値あるものとされている。最終的には、ポスト成長型の持続可能な食料システムには、地域に根ざし、自律的で、都市と農村に分散された「食のコモンズ」を構築するための多様な原則を取り入れたIFPの広範な導入が含まれる。
