Household-level dynamics of food waste production and related beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours in Guelph, Ontario. (2015, methodology): “Koivupuro et al. (2012) observed in Finland that households that expected to be able to reduce their waste tended to produce more food waste, suggesting that a perceived ability to reduce is reflective of high waste production.”
Consumer-Related Food Waste: Causes and Potential for Action (2015, background): “A diary study in Finland identified that gender, household composition, belief in packaging and perception of the “value of money” at purchase influence food waste [52], while it was mainly young, male and single consumers in research in Portugal [53] that wasted more food.”
Food waste drivers in Europe, from identification to possible interventions (2016, background): “Authors have also found gender-based diversities in FW generating behaviours, with women that seem to waste more than men in households [14,30,55,153,158,159], especially in single-person households and in meal consumption out of home because of excessive portion size [23].”
Food waste matters - A systematic review of household food waste practices and their policy implications (2018, background): “Even though consumers state that bulk purchases potentially lead to more food waste (Qi and Roe, 2016), several studies point out that food waste amounts are on average lower in households that are more prone to buy discounted food (J€ orissen et al., 2015; Koivupuro et al., 2012) or consider low pr”
