The post-2015 development agenda focusing on linking the global vision and national implementaion

今年4月，研究人员在马来西亚和日本设计并实施了一项消费者调查，以评估食品系统中消费者的代理或权力水平，以及他们对可持续消费和生产问题的看法、知识和意识水平。在马来西亚和日本，共有500多名和400多名消费者接受了调查。调查的初步结果于2017年6月14日至18日在香港举行的国际研究协会会议上公布。除此之外，研究人员于7月在马来西亚和泰国进行了访谈，以进一步探索研究中与推动马来西亚和亚太地区SCP的各种利益相关者的责任和互动相关的新兴主题。最后，在8月份，研究人员采访了各种利益相关者，包括企业、环境部和农业部的政府官员，以及参与日本食品回收和减少食品浪费治理的地方市政当局。这是研究迭代数据收集和分析过程的一部分。数据收集的重点是低估了日本国家和非国家行为体在减少食物浪费方面的作用。重点还在于理解企业的责任。

The preliminary results of the survey was presented at the International Studies Association conference in Hong Kong from the 14-18th of June, 2017. In addition to this, the researcher carried out interviews in Malaysia and Thailand in July to further explore the emerging themes from the research related to the responsibilities and interactions of various stakeholders driving SCP in Malaysia and the Asia-Pacific. Finally, in August the researcher carried out interviews with various stakeholders including business, government officials in the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Agriculture and local municipalities involved governance of food recycling and reducing food waste in Japan.
