Abstract

ABSTRACT Institutions such as hospitals and schools waste approximately seven to eleven billion pounds of food annually in the US. Food composting can be utilized to divert food waste from entering landfills. This study explored behaviors and perceptions of staff and management involved in a composting intervention at a local hospital through the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory. The importance of management involvement, organizational and institutional buy-in, proper education and training, and consistent follow-up were discussed. Different dimensions of compatibility, relative advantage, complexity, trialability, and observability of the composting intervention were identified by participants as contributing to the intervention implementation.

中西部儿童医院对堆肥的看法
在美国,医院和学校等机构每年浪费大约70到110亿磅的食物。食物堆肥可以避免食物垃圾进入堆填区。本研究通过创新扩散(DOI)理论探讨了参与当地医院堆肥干预的员工和管理层的行为和观念。讨论了管理部门参与、组织和机构的支持、适当的教育和培训以及一贯的后续行动的重要性。参与者认为堆肥干预措施的兼容性、相对优势、复杂性、可试验性和可观察性的不同维度有助于干预措施的实施。
