| Policy Outcome: | The goal of the plan is that people in Tokyo have knowledge on food and ability to choose foods to stay healthy for the whole lifetime. The dietary education is 食育 in Japanese, and it means making people have food literacy, particularly knowledge of the relationship between food and our health. The plan has three objectives: (1) to promote the dietary education; (2) to increase opportunities that people can communicate with producers and can experience farm-to-table; and (3) to increase the people who can teach the dietary education by offering more information. The plan is based on the national act and the plan, Basic Act on Dietary Education and the Promotion Plan for Dietary Education. |
