Food Waste Behaviour at the Consumer Level: Pilot Study on Czech Private Households

Original language description

The issue of food waste is a problem that affects the whole society. Food is wasted throughout the food chain. Households are great contributors to the problem. A detailed analysis of municipal waste from the production of 900 Czech households was performed. These datasets allowed for comprehensive insides. The analyses of mixed municipal waste were performed every quarter of the year (summer 2019-spring 2020). The method of municipal waste analysis was sup-plemented by questionnaire survey among households and 10 in-depth interviews aimed at identi-fying the main causes of waste. One of the periods in which food waste was measured was affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic. This finding has also been confirmed by findings from other countries. The climatic crisis multiplied by the impacts of COVID-19 has highlighted the need to actively address the issue of food waste.
