“…We could nonetheless point out a few community-based social networks that apply pervasive computing to address this challenge, such as EUPHORIA (standing for Efficient food Use and food waste Prevention in Households through Increased Awareness) [11], which is a project that allows users to log and track their everyday food related behavior and redirect these, through social influence, towards more sustainable food related practices. Nonetheless, the project has focused on social behavior around food consumption (necessitating manual inputs via a mobile application), and has not proposed any IoT-based services to automate the discovery of food in the neighborhood that is e.g.…”

Abstract. Situation awareness is a key feature of pervasive computing and requires external knowledge to interpret data. Ontology-based reasoning approaches allow for the reuse of predefined knowledge, but do not provide the best reasoning capabilities. To overcome this problem, a hybrid model for situation awareness is developed and presented in this paper, which integrates the Situation Theory Ontology into Context Space Theory for inference. Furthermore, in an effort to rely as much as possible on open IoT messaging standards, a domain-independent framework using the O-MI/O-DF standards for sensor data acquisition is developed. This framework is applied to a smart neighborhood use case to reduce food waste at the consumption stage.

“…Social mechanisms that humans use to influence others, such as social approval, peer pressure, norm activation or social comparison, are principles that can be applied successfully for supporting behavior change [18]. The use of social influence strategies is another major characteristic of Euphoria [10]. Studies have shown that our social environments are important determinants of food waste related behavior [5][6], stemming from cultural practices, signaling social status, but also emerging behavior in an age of abundant choice and quantity of food.…”

“…Related to these findings, we presented Euphoria, a project working towards the design of a community-based social recipe system [10]. In this concept, ingredients available from different households are combined into one or more recipes, which are suggested to a group of users with the main aim at collective food waste prevention through collaboration and food sharing.…”

Abstract-We introduced the concept of a community-based social recipe system which suggests recipes to groups of users based on available ingredients from these users (i.e. who can be from the same household or different households). In this paper we discuss the relevance and desirability of such a system and how it should be designed based on user studies. We identified the relevance of targeting ingredients and found positive expected experiences with the system such as to prevent habitual waste-related behavior, awareness of in-home food availability, creativity in cooking, moments for surprises and spontaneity, coordination among a group of friends, education and connectedness. Possible reasons of not using the system are trust and the inconvenience of distance among users in a group that are suggested with a social recipe. From our findings, we specify design implications for the system and optimization functions aiming at the prevention of food waste at a collective level.

“…In recent years, the impacts of food loss and food waste on food security and environment have become a global concern as the population grows fast and food production resources become even more limited (Lim et al, 2014). Food is lost or wasted throughout the supply chain -from farm to fork.…”

The growing human population is causing food security concerns in many countries. As food security is the access by all people to enough food to live a healthy and productive life, the world must reduce food waste. At the consumer level, households are responsible for half of the total avoidable losses due to food becoming out-of-date, developing bad smell or taste, or having been forgotten in the fridge. This study investigates the factors leading to consumer adoption of intelligent food containers (IFC) -an emerging technology that can store food, monitor food quality and minimize food waste. In particular, the study focuses on the role of companies' green marketing in affecting consumers' willingness to adopt IFC. So doing, the study develops and tests a research model and related hypotheses by using the partial least squares structural equation modeling approach. The model was constructed based on the integration of Technology Adoption Model (TAM) with green marketing. An online survey was used to collect data from 153 households in Canada. The results suggest that improved TAM with the addition of green marketing mix is useful in explaining consumers' purchase intention toward IFC. The findings provide valuable information to marketers in the packaging technology sector to help them convince eco-friendly segment to purchase IFCs and enhance the pro-environmental purchasing behavior in Canada.iii
