Categories of consumer food waste
1. Suboptimal foods
2. Leftovers
3. Scraps

FAO 2011 report
Consumer food waste - quantities
Consumer role in food waste issue is especially crucial in developed countries!
![Page 6: Consumers’ food choices and the roles of retailers in reducing food …apec-flows.ntu.edu.tw/upload/edit/file/2 SR_2016_P_S1-02... · 2017. 10. 27. · FAO 2011 report Consumer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe29fb2ba2c947c951a633a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Consumers role in the food waste issue is also especially crucial
• Not only do consumers/ households produce the largest share of food waste due to their own household or retail choices
BUT • Consumers actual or
anticipated food perceptions and food purchase behaviours influence stakeholder decision making along the whole supply chain
(Stuart, 2009)

Consumer food waste – trends in quantities
Total estimated food waste has been steadily diminishing in recent years but potential food waste generated (per capita) by households appears to have been growing
![Page 8: Consumers’ food choices and the roles of retailers in reducing food …apec-flows.ntu.edu.tw/upload/edit/file/2 SR_2016_P_S1-02... · 2017. 10. 27. · FAO 2011 report Consumer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe29fb2ba2c947c951a633a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
But evidence that with specific waste reduction initiatives, downwards development is possible!
• 21% decrease in FW in the U.K. between 2007 and 2012 (WRAP, 2012)

Main causes at a consumer level- spurred by three global trends
EPRS Report 2014: Tackling food waste: The EU's contribution to a global issue
![Page 10: Consumers’ food choices and the roles of retailers in reducing food …apec-flows.ntu.edu.tw/upload/edit/file/2 SR_2016_P_S1-02... · 2017. 10. 27. · FAO 2011 report Consumer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe29fb2ba2c947c951a633a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
(1) urbanisation
![Page 11: Consumers’ food choices and the roles of retailers in reducing food …apec-flows.ntu.edu.tw/upload/edit/file/2 SR_2016_P_S1-02... · 2017. 10. 27. · FAO 2011 report Consumer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe29fb2ba2c947c951a633a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
(2) Changes in the composition of diets
![Page 12: Consumers’ food choices and the roles of retailers in reducing food …apec-flows.ntu.edu.tw/upload/edit/file/2 SR_2016_P_S1-02... · 2017. 10. 27. · FAO 2011 report Consumer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe29fb2ba2c947c951a633a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
(3) Increasing globalisation of commerce and the rapid diffusion of
large‐scale mass distribution
![Page 13: Consumers’ food choices and the roles of retailers in reducing food …apec-flows.ntu.edu.tw/upload/edit/file/2 SR_2016_P_S1-02... · 2017. 10. 27. · FAO 2011 report Consumer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe29fb2ba2c947c951a633a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Other causes at a consumer level:characteristics associated with modern
consumer culture
• Culture of consumerism and abundance
• Low price of food
• Purchase of excessive quantities induced by sales promotions
• Preparation of over‐generous portions
• Little priority given to FW reduction behaviours
• Increasing anxiety about food safety
![Page 14: Consumers’ food choices and the roles of retailers in reducing food …apec-flows.ntu.edu.tw/upload/edit/file/2 SR_2016_P_S1-02... · 2017. 10. 27. · FAO 2011 report Consumer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe29fb2ba2c947c951a633a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Wastage occurs at all stages of the
consumer consumption
cycle
Food provisioning
Usage (storing, preparing) and
eating Disposal

• be immune to the financial cost, and
• have high quality standards (which may include acute sensitivity to food safety)
Profile of individuals who discard large amounts of food are reported to:
• have limited kitchen skills
![Page 16: Consumers’ food choices and the roles of retailers in reducing food …apec-flows.ntu.edu.tw/upload/edit/file/2 SR_2016_P_S1-02... · 2017. 10. 27. · FAO 2011 report Consumer](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe29fb2ba2c947c951a633a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Who is wasting food is limited to broad profiles
Those who tend to discard a lot of food reported to be combinations of:
• 18-24 year olds
• or families with young children
• or earning more than $100 000 a year
Research has identified groups of individuals based on their knowledge and behaviour. Segments labelled as:
• the guilty
• those who don’t care
• those who are in-denial

- high tech (big data analytics)
- low tech (dumping out a rubbish bin on a tarp and inventorying it)

Opportunities for partnership –incentivising retail
• Find ways to encourage retailers to report on aggregate food waste transparently and more comprehensively
• Help retailers find ways to create a business case revolving around food waste resulting in benefits for their company (e.g. expanding their assortment or sales or improved reputation)
• Suggesting policy that will facilitate/incentivise food donation
