This book focuses on the crucial sustainability challenge of reducing food waste at the level of consumer-society. Providing an in-depth, research-based overview of the multifaceted problem, it considers environmental, economic, social and ethical factors. Perspectives included in the book address households, consumers, and organizations, and their role in reducing food waste. Rather than focusing upon the reasons for food waste itself, the chapters develop research-based solutions for the problem, providing a much-needed solution-orientated approach that takes multiple perspectives into account.

“This book approaches a most relevant and complex societal problem: the management of food waste. Its multidisciplinary perspective as well as the variety of theoretical perspectives and practical insights provides interesting and innovative contributions. It delivers insight into and reflection of the different levels where change is needed such as actors at the distribution and consumption levels, systems and socio-cultural and institutional structures. Reduction of global food waste is not only important, but necessary for the development towards a sustainable society and the book deserves to be read by not only researchers, but consumers, retailers, industry and politicians.” (Karin M. Ekström, Professor of Marketing University of Borås, Sweden)
