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.
Nobuyuki Iwama is a professor of Ibaraki Christian University in Japan. He has worked closely with governments and local communities. In the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, he was the chairman of the conferences on poor food access issues, and he has been closely engaged in countermeasures of those concerns in Japan. Because his university is located in a declining and aging population area and he is a director of the Global and Communication Center of Ibaraki Christian University, he has a strong interest in revitalization of local communities and development of sustainable living environments. He also manages development programs in many declining and aging population areas. He has published several books and papers on Japanese food desert issues.
