研究実績の概要 |
During this period, data collection was finished and research results were compiled, written up, and submitted for publication.
A total of eight publications were released during the 2021-2022 period. Highlights include a paper on farmer lighthouses and clustering in Frontiers of Food System Sustainability, an impact focused paper on why decentralized food systems are needed in Journal for Cleaner Production, and a paper that looked at soft scenario methods used local food policy development processes in 「環境科学会誌」。
Research results on informal food practices were presented at a total of nine different venues, ranging from internationally significant academic conferences to presentations for prefectural government and community organizations working on food sustainability and policy.

理由
Although some data collection was planned for 2021-2022, all fieldwork and survey data collection has ceased, due to the COVID pandemic. This has brought our attention to data analysis, publication and dissemination.
The online survey conducted across four countries (Japan, USA, Germany, Italy) identifying changes in food consumption and practices during the COVID pandemic was compiled, analysed, and submitted to the journal “Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems.” We have received a round of revisions and are awaiting final decision.
The informal food mapping research has been activated via the minna-no-shoku.org website. The minna-no-shoku.org website has been utilized by local communities working on food policy issues as well as included as part of classroom exercises at universities.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
Future activities for the project are focusing on publication and dissemination of research results. Progress on the book "Post-growth food for Japan: revaluing informal and wild food practices as provisioning systems" with Australia National Press did not proceed as planned, as the pandemic impacted data collection and capacity for writing among many authors. The book will introduce conceptual framework for IFPs as part of post-growth food systems and illustrates elements of the framework through a collection of case-studies of IFPs in Japan. We are also working with civic food organizations and universities to connect to and develop the minna-no-shoku.org webpage. A total of three additional papers and book chapters are scheduled to be published during the final year of the project.
