The Office of Sophia Sustainability Promotion recruited
around 30 students to be members of a project in
which they developed recipes for delicious, sustainable
breakfasts from a student perspective together with Seven
& i Holdings Co., Ltd.

Using breakfast, a familiar matter for university students, as a starting point, the project aims to encourage students to consider sustainability issues such as food loss as something that concerns them and to encourage even just one more student to start eating healthy breakfasts. The results of an awareness survey on the topic of breakfast carried out among Sophia University students showed that there are some problems such as a tendency among students to skip breakfast, despite it being essential for spending a day in a healthy and active manner.

Furthermore, the project also incorporated an SDG perspective by looking at ways to reduce food loss.
