Food Assistance in Japan
The Japanese government has been supporting the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Their objective is to achieve zero hunger by the year 2030. Their target is to improve food production by developing agricultural infrastructure and methods.
Some Nonprofit Organizations are helping the Japanese government to achieve this goal. They have established projects that aim to provide food assistance to families who cannot support their needs. They provide weekly food shipments that help over 100 families. This is the reason why we seldom see starving people in Japan.
