Key Words
food waste, households, knowledge, behavioral and psychological determinants
Short Description
Food waste is an important societal problem to address. The role of consumers regarding food waste is not negligible and the study of their behaviour in this area is essential. To conduct research on this topic, it is important to have a measure of food waste that reflects what the consumer is actually wasting and what influence the knowledge of what constitutes food waste. The purpose of this presentation is to document the determinants of the knowledge of households on what behaviors constitute food waste. Thus, a sample of 1,061 people were asked to indicate, among 23 behaviors constituting food waste, whether each behaviour does, or does not, constitute food waste. The results of this study lead to a discussion on ways to improve consumers’ knowledge on what behaviors constitute food waste.
