The simple Japanese method for a tidier and less wasteful fridge
BBCThe simple Japanese method for a tidier and less wasteful fridge Rachel Nuwer There are simple organisational methods for reducing fridge waste To help people clear cluttered fridges and reduce food waste, researchers in Tokyo are testing simple organisational techniques – and all you need to get started is some tape and a few stickers. "Japan is a country that is not at all self-sufficient in its food supply," says Tomoko Okayama, a waste management researcher at Taisho University in Tokyo. As two of Japan's leading food waste researchers, Okayama and Watanabe explore the underlying drivers of why edible food winds up in the bin, and then try to use those findings to devise evidence-informed interventions. They gave a short lecture about food waste, spoke about best-by dates, and introduced a suite of "nudge" interventions: methods intended to subtly steer people towards positive behavioural choices without a huge commitment.
