🌍💔 Every day, a staggering amount of food ends up in the bin instead of feeding the hungry. This isn't just about wasted resources; it's a deep injustice in a world where millions go to bed hungry. Let's talk solutions, not waste.

🚨 Fact: Over 1 billion meals are wasted daily, costing $1tn a year. Yet, 730 million people face hunger. This isn't just a food issue; it's a climate crisis, with waste generating 10% of global GHGs. We must act! #UNReport

Hear me talk about how to #fightfoodwaste by buying and selling wonky fruit and vegetables on The Guardian's Full Story podcast. This is part of my work with the Fight Food Waste CRC. So exciting to appear on a podcast that I listen to every day! https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/audio/2023/aug/01/full-story-podcast-ugly-food?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Here's yours truly on ABC Radio National (Australia), talking about how we all have a role to play in fighting food waste. We, consumers, can't do it all on our own, though. We need more appropriate food portion sizes at supermarkets and better food labelling to know whether our food is fresh enough to eat and how to prolong its life through better storage.

Consumer Perceptions of Food Packaging in Its Role in Fighting Food Waste

Consumers are vital stakeholders in creating and reducing food waste. However, limited research into consumers’ perceptions of food waste and food packaging is available to inform research, packaging design or policy so that sustainable consumption practices among consumers might be better encouraged and enabled. By applying multivariate linear modelling to a sample of 965 Australian consumers, this study investigated consumers’ perceptions of packaging and packaging’s relationship to food waste. Overall, consumers perceived packaging waste as a more serious environmental issue than food waste. Most consumers did not consider food waste as an extreme environmental issue. Consumers’ perceptions of the seriousness of food waste also influenced their perceptions of packaging designed to reduce food waste. Significant differences between men and women and older and younger consumers were found regarding the relationship between packaging and food waste as well as food waste as an environmental issue. This study provides a detailed understanding of consumers and packaging, and it alerts designers and decision-makers to the differing attitudes towards food and packaging waste as well as the likelihood of consumers taking up more sustainable consumption practices.
