Abstract
The issue of food waste has garnered much attention globally due to its adverse impacts on the economy, food security, natural resources, the environment, and human health. Despite this, the academic literature lacks systematic, historical, and synthesising investigations on healthcare food waste. This bibliometrics analysis study aims to summarise the growing trends of food waste publications and highlight common and potential research topics of food waste in healthcare settings. The Scopus database analysed 193 journal articles published between 1952 and 2022. We identified several common and potential research topics for future research in the area, including food waste and malnutrition, related intervention strategies, the impact of healthcare food service systems on food waste, and their economic and environmental impact. Healthcare food waste research in developing nations is still limited. Thus, it is recommended that policymakers support its development as one of the steps to encounter food waste.
