Abstract

The purpose of this study is to give a quantitative assessment of environmental impacts of decreasing transportation distance by applying “local production for local consumption” policy. We estimated transportation patterns to minimize CO2 emission from transportation of 14 items of vegetables. The result shows that 10.1% of CO2 emission, which is equal to 70,000ton, can be reduced. Especially, this policy is more effective for Kanto and Kyushu, because it reduces the amount of long-distance trade between these two regions. Also, fruit vegetables and leaf vegetables show high reduction rate.
