Urban Food Deserts in Japan de Nobuyuki Iwama

Urban Food Deserts in Japan: International Perspectives in Geography, cartea 15

Autor Nobuyuki Iwama, Tatsuto Asakawa, Koichi Tanaka, Midori Sasaki, Nobuhiko Komaki, Masashi Ikeda
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 apr 2022
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.
