海外ボランティア募集！大学生・高校生・社会人にオススメ。春休み夏休みも通年開催。

First of all, Throughout this training, I was particularly impressed with SDGs Goal 2, “Zero hunger.” Today, 795 million people in the world are hungry. In order to feed these people, we must change the global food system. However, there is only so much we can do as individuals. I have been thinking about what actions we can take as individuals. For this reason I think it is really important for us to “know” and “share”.
Food waste, as opposed to hunger, is now a problem in developed countries. This shows how important it is to balance this food supply. If this balance can be achieved, the food waste problem in developed countries and the hunger problem in developing countries can be solved at the same time. However, very few people know what solutions there are to this problem. For example, one example is the Food Bank, an initiative to reduce food loss, in which companies and others donate food that cannot be distributed due to damaged packaging, excess inventory, or other reasons. This is generally a large project undertaken by companies, but each household can also donate. However, only 20％of the total number of people who know about this activity are actually involved in it. In fact, until I started this training, I had no idea that there was an initiative to which I could contribute, nor had I researched it. Also, I heard and studied a lot about the SDGs, but I didn’t think I would actually be directly involved in them. But now that I have learned about the SDGs, what is being done to achieve them, and the current situation, I feel that I need to take action, and I have more opportunities to investigate. Thanks to this, I was able to learn about various volunteer activities related to the SDGs and actually get involved. I never thought that even my information dissemination would be the key to solving the SDGs. To give an example based on the date, only one out of three respondents is willing to disseminate information. Another result is that only one in nine actually transmits information. This is why it is so important to share what you know and can do about the SDGs. What each individual can do about hunger in their own lives would be to reduce the amount they consume as much as possible, use services such as food banks, and also to know and communicate about the current situation. Additionally, now that everyone has the ability to communicate with the world, it will be important to use those methods.
Therefore, I think the best thing you can do about the SDGs and us is to “know” and “share” what you have learned. In this age of globalization, it is important to be aware that we have the ability to disseminate information and to have an impact, and to make effective use of this ability. I “know” the SDGs in detail and know the world situation throughout this training so, I will “share” the information with my SNS.
