Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify the factors that contribute to food waste, with a particular focus on the role that culture and society play. The ultimate objective is to not only lessen the effects of food waste, but also to lessen its incidence. This study fits in with the rising recognition that a more sustainable and responsible approach to food consumption and waste management may be achieved via a knowledge of and an influence on cultural norms and social behaviors. The research makes a modest but important addition to the worldwide effort to reduce food waste by advocating for fundamental shifts in how we approach, manage, and value nutrition.
