Background

[edit]

Early Life

[edit]

Rumi Ide was born in Kanda-Surugadai, Chiyoda, Tokyo. Prior to her birth, her parents were living in Sapporo. Her mother returned to Tokyo to give birth at Sanraku Hospital, where her uncle, the physician Hachirō Takagi, was working. Takagi was a former military doctor who had also worked at the Imperial Household Agency Hospital.

After her birth, the family returned to Sapporo, where she was raised until around the age of four. Sapporo at that time had long periods of snow, so she often spent her time reading at home. Her mother was reportedly proud that by the age of two, she could recite Bongo the Little Bear by heart. She has a younger brother.[6]

Relocations and life in various places

[edit]

Her father was a bank employee, and due to his job transfers, the family lived in various places, including Hokkaido, Fuchū, Tokyo, Setagaya, Saitama, Tsushima, Aichi, Kurume, and Yachiyo, Chiba. Through these experiences, she was exposed to the cultures and dialects of each region.[6]

Interest in food

[edit]

She had a keen interest in food from an early age. Influenced by her mother's baking, by the age of about five she was helping her make cupcakes every Sunday. Her fascination with the way the kudzu soup her mother made when she had a cold changed from a liquid to a gel-like consistency, as well as reading her mother's favourite cookbook, Home Cooking, and books on confectionery, served as catalysts for deepening her interest in food. She also used to entertain herself by writing café menus on drawing paper.[6]

Education

[edit]

She moved from Sapporo to Fuchū, Tokyo, and enrolled at Momijigaoka Kindergarten. She subsequently moved to Setagaya, Tokyo, and enrolled at Shōin Kindergarten.

After attending Setagaya Ward Tamon Elementary School, Motota Elementary School in Urawa City (now Saitama), and Tsushima Municipal Nishi Elementary School, she enrolled at and graduated from Kurume Municipal Suwa Junior High School. She subsequently studied at Fukuoka Prefectural Meizen High School and Chiba Prefectural Yakuendai High School.[6]

University

[edit]

In her first year of high school, after reading the Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan, she resolved to study food science at university. She felt a strong attachment to Kurume, where she had spent the four years from her first year of junior high school to her first year of high school, and reportedly struggled to settle into her new surroundings after moving to the Kantō region. Inspired by a classical Japanese literature lesson in her third year of high school, she developed a deeper interest in Kyoto and Nara. Of the two national universities offering food science courses at the time—Ochanomizu University and Nara Women's University—she chose Nara Women's University and was accepted on her first attempt.[6]

In 1989, she graduated from the Department of Food Science, Faculty of Home Economics, at Nara Women's University. Shortly after entering university, she lost her father, who had been a bank branch manager, and continued her studies while receiving a scholarship.[1]

Career

[edit]

She worked at the Lion Home Science Research Institute, where she was involved in the evaluation of skincare products and research into skin ageing.[1]

Whilst employed there, she undertook research into the development of care products and, through voluntary work at special care homes for the elderly and hospitals, was involved in the development of products such as pressure-relief mattresses and waterless toothbrushes.[1]

She subsequently resigned, aspiring to work in the field of food—which had interested her since childhood—and in international cooperation. In 1994, she was posted to the Philippines as a member of the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers, where she worked to promote the cultivation of molokhia.[1]

In 1997, she joined Kellogg Japan, and from 2002, served as Head of the Public Relations Office, acting as the company's sole officer responsible for public relations, nutrition and social contribution. In 2008, drawing inspiration from food bank activities introduced by the company's U.S. headquarters, she began donating the company's products. This became the catalyst for her subsequent efforts to tackle the issue of food waste.[1]

In 2011, prompted by the Great East Japan earthquake, which occurred on 11 March—her birthday—she developed a deeper interest in food aid for disaster-stricken areas and the issue of food waste. She resigned that same year to establish her own consultancy, Office 3.11.[1]

She also served as Head of Public Relations at Second Harvest Japan from 2011 to 2014.[1]

Achievements

[edit]

Contribution to the enactment of the Act on Promotion of Food Loss and Waste Reduction

[edit]

In 2016, she gave lectures on food waste at seven locations across Tokyo alongside members of the National Diet. As this was the very year that the world's first law banning food waste was enacted and came into force in France, momentum built in Japan to create similar legislation, and her efforts helped pave the way for the law's enactment.

Prior to the enactment of the Act on Promotion of Food Loss and Waste Reduction, in February 2017, at a meeting of the Komeito Party's Food Loss Reduction Promotion Project Team (held at the House of Councillors Members' Office Building), she presented policy recommendations on reducing food loss to members of the House of Councillors, the House of Representatives, as well as representatives from the Consumer Affairs Agency, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.[7]

Subsequently, she continued to disseminate information on the issue of food waste through contributions to Yahoo! News Expert, as well as via newspapers and television.[8][9]

In 2018, she was awarded the Food Culture Category of the 2nd Food Lifestyle Journalist Awards[3] for bringing the issue of food waste to the forefront of national attention, and received the Yahoo! News Personal Author Award 2018[4] for her contribution to raising awareness of food waste.
