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.

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.
