Description

Household food waste has become a major problem that can only be overcome through certain concrete changes in consumer behaviors. In order to significantly reduce food waste at the domestic level, food behaviors that need to be changed must first be systematically identified. In an attempt to come up with solutions for this issue, I have thoroughly examined the results and research methodologies of previous studies and in this paper I discuss the types of behaviors that result in the generation of large amounts of food waste.<br>　Many studies on food waste have been published recently, with some of the authors demonstrating that particular behaviors, such as removing edible parts during food preparation and not actively using ingredients stored in refrigerators and cupboards, inevitably produce a huge quantity of food waste. Authors also point out how consumers often decide to throw away food because of the labeled expiry dates. Finally, I recommends that it is important to fully examine what measures could be taken to change these behaviors and reduce overall food waste.
