abstract: 'Food waste generated at the household level represents about half of the
|
|
|
|
total food waste in high-income countries, making consumers a target for
|
|
|
|
food waste reduction strategies. To successfully reduce consumer food
|
|
|
|
waste, it is necessary to have an understanding of factors influencing
|
|
|
|
food waste behaviors (FWB). The objective of this study was to
|
|
|
|
investigate socio-demographic predictors of FWB among consumers in two
|
|
|
|
European countries: Denmark and Spain. Based on a survey involving 1518
|
|
|
|
Danish and 1511 Spanish consumers, we examined the associations of age,
|
|
|
|
sex, education, marital status, employment status, and household size
|
|
|
|
with FWB. By using structural equation modeling based on confirmatory
|
|
|
|
factor analysis, we created the variable FWB from self-reported food
|
|
|
|
waste and two activities that have been correlated with the amount of
|
|
|
|
food wasted in previous studies: namely, shopping routines and food
|
|
|
|
preparation. Results show that being older, unemployed, and working
|
|
|
|
part-time were associated with less food waste behavior in both
|
|
|
|
countries. In Denmark, being male was associated with more food waste
|
|
|
|
behavior, and living in a household with four or more people was
|
|
|
|
associated with less food waste behavior. These results underscore the
|
|
|
|
modest role of socio-demographic characteristics in predicting food
|
|
|
|
waste behavior in Europe.'
