Abstract

The paper categorises households based on their motivations and management practices towards reducing food waste, examines the factors that differentiate households that use specific food management practices and motivation bundles, and evaluates the effect of motivations and food management practices on household food waste. Using data from households in the United Kingdom, three bundles of motivation (saving, environmental considerations and emotions) and management practices (plan, inspect and proactive) are elicited. The results show that the single predominant management practice is “inspect” while “environmental considerations” was the most common motivation. We find evidence that different motivation bundles, as well as management bundles are used in a complementary manner. The results show that of the three management bundles, being proactive is more likely to result in reducing food waste. On the other hand, considerations for the environment and negative emotion that arise after food is wasted increases the desire to reduce waste. This study highlights the interdependent nature of motivations and practices and could guide public policy and awareness campaigns for more targeted and effective waste reduction strategies. Targeted public awareness campaigns emphasising the environmental impact of food waste and educational programs integrated into existing initiatives could effectively reduce household food waste in the UK.

预防和减少家庭食物浪费是否取决于捆绑的动机和食物管理实践?
该论文根据家庭减少食物浪费的动机和管理实践对其进行了分类,研究了区分使用特定食物管理实践和动机包的家庭的因素,并评估了动机和食物管理实践对家庭食物浪费的影响。利用英国家庭的数据,得出了三大动机(储蓄、环境考虑和情绪)和管理实践(计划、检查和积极主动)。结果表明,单一的主导管理实践是“检查”,而“环境考虑”是最常见的动机。我们发现有证据表明,不同的动机捆绑包以及管理捆绑包是以互补的方式使用的。结果表明,在这三种管理方式中,积极主动更有可能减少食物浪费。另一方面,对环境的考虑和食物浪费后产生的负面情绪增加了减少浪费的愿望。这项研究强调了动机和做法的相互依存性,可以指导公共政策和提高认识运动,制定更有针对性和有效的减少废物战略。有针对性的公众意识运动强调食物浪费对环境的影响,并将教育计划纳入现有举措,可以有效减少英国的家庭食物浪费。
