Internet of things and supply chain management: a literature review (2019, background): “Stuart (2009) estimates that in North America and Europe, 30 – 50% of the food supply is discarded.”
Determinants of consumer food waste behaviour: Two routes to food waste. (2016, background): “The few differences could to some extent be due to country-specific 416 differences between the samples of the two studies, as culture is known to play an important role in 417 food waste behaviour (Stuart, 2009).”
Thinking and acting outside the charitable food box: hunger and the right to food in rich societies (2011, background): “Nonetheless, the statistics are cause for concern, with 49 million people in the USA now food-insecure (BFW 2009), and 43 million at risk of food poverty in the European Union (Stuart 2009).”
Lost food, wasted resources: global food supply chain losses and their impacts on freshwater, cropland, and fertiliser use. (2012, background): “In developing countries: more reliable transportation network, energy and market systems; enhanced infrastructure during transportation and storage (Rolle, 2006; Stuart, 2009).”
Soil Degradation, Land Scarcity and Food Security: Reviewing a Complex Challenge (2016, background): “About 30% (possibly more) of agricultural production is wasted, both in developing and developed countries, although for different reasons [15,232,233].”
The effects of reducing food losses and food waste on global food insecurity, natural resources, and greenhouse gas emissions (2015, background): “Additionally, the effects of food loss reduction on food insecurity in the developed countries are beyond the scope of this paper, even though many citizens in the developed countries live below the poverty line and depend on food aid from charitable institutions (Stuart 2009).”
Blaming the consumer – once again: the social and material contexts of everyday food waste practices in some English households (2011, background): “…(£480 per household) and the environmental impact is equivalent to 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.2 Whilst prominent commentators (e.g. Stuart 2009) do not lay the blame solely at the door of consumers; public and policy imaginations are focused disproportionately on domestic waste.”
Food waste drivers in Europe, from identification to possible interventions (2016, background): “Examples include slaughtering and processing losses in the meat industry [47], cutting and trimming losses [73], losses due to production errors and rudimentary control measures [9,74,75], processing waste (e.”

Superficial Packaging Damage as a Contamination Cue (2016, unknown): “© 2016, American Marketing Association Journal of Marketing Research ISSN: 0022-2437 (print) Vol. LIII (February 2016), 110–123 1547-7193 (electronic) DOI: 10.1509/jmr.12.0388110 (Stuart 2009).”
Identifying motivations and barriers to minimising household food waste (2014, background): “Firstly, it has a social impact as it contributes towards increases in global food prices, making food less accessible for the poorest as well as increasing the number of malnourished people both in developed and developing countries (Stuart, 2009).”
Total and per capita value of food loss in the United States (2012, background): “It is in society's best interest to have and accept some level of food loss so that there is enough surplus food to prevent shortages (Stuart, 2009) and to minimize food costs.”
Food Waste Paradox: Antecedents of Food Disposal in Low-Income Households (2015, background): “…(2012), Gustavsson et al. (2011), Koivupuro et al. (2012), Williams et al. (2012), Beretta et al.

The Global Food‐Energy‐Water Nexus (2018, background): “Possible actions include crop production planning to avoid surpluses that cannot be placed on the market; improvements in storage, refrigeration, and transportation facilities, particularly in the developing world; changes in the logistics of food retailing and distribution to account for the limite”
Assessing U.S. Food Wastage and Opportunities for Reduction (2016, background): “Yet today, providing enough food to meet the basic needs of 7.3 billion people remains a difficult challenge, as one in nine people do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life (World Food Programme, https://www.wfp.org/hunger/stats).”
