Notification of UPGRADE Plant based kitchen’s participation in SCAFFF2030’s Sustainability Week

2020.9.11

Our “Upgrade plant based kitchen,” a dining establishment based in Daimaru Shinsaibashi Store (Osaka City), will take part in the SCAFFF2030 (Sustainability Consortium 2030 - for Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries and Food) Project’s “Sustainability Week (Sustaina-Week),” running from September 17th to the 27th.

The SCAFFF2030 Project aims at attaining the sustainable development goals (SDGs) outlined by the United Nations by the year 2030. The project is a collaborative effort, done with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Consumer Affairs Agency and the Ministry of the Environment to promote activities that contribute to the propagation of sustainable production and consumption.

  • The “Sustaina-Week” aims at raising awareness about sustainability among people, with “a daily choice for a green future” as the catchphrase. It’s a period when companies and organizations engaging in activities to achieve sustainable production and consumption can bring these initiatives for the future to the attention of people. The six items that are being taken into account related to sustainability in food and the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries are climate change, biodiversity, water, waste and loss, partnership and resilience, and soil. Each participating project member will have information related to their initiatives for these items exhibited and promoted.
