“…Third, most studies have only measured and evaluated the amount of food waste and have not conducted indepth explorations of the causes of food waste (e.g. Liu et al, 2013;Ribeiro et al, 2019).…”

Economic development has improved people’s daily diets in China, but food waste has increased significantly. China faces severe natural resource constraints, and reducing food waste is important for ensuring national food security. Based on 1634 survey samples from 28 provinces in China, this study assessed food waste in rural China and empirically analyzed the main factors affecting rural household food waste. The results showed that, on average, 1.67% of food is wasted per household each day in rural China. Food waste is greater in economically developed areas, such as East China. Empirical analysis showed that cooking utensils, preparing the right amount of food, religious beliefs, number of family members, average weight of family members, percentage of purchased grain in the total food consumption in 1 year, and total grain output are significantly related to rural household food waste.

“…Similarly, De Steur et al 2016and Mourad (2016) emphasize the importance of formal multi-stakeholder collaborations in the process of reducing food waste. Furthermore, stakeholders may not limit their relations solely to the exchange of information in order to acquire knowledge which is not freely available: they can also decide to structure formal projects aimed at realizing innovative solutions (Mourad, 2016;Ribeiro et al 2019). The conceptual perspective of multiplexity enables the analyst to consider the simultaneous existence of various forms of relationships, reflecting on the complexity and effectiveness of the underlying decision system among the stakeholders.…”

In light of the global significance of food waste, a greater focus on improving food waste management strategies is called for. Implementing such management strategies requires a better understanding of stakeholder relations. This paper analyses the structure of multiplex relations among stakeholders involved in the creation of a novel food waste management system, investigating the drivers of network formation when multiple collaborations are observed between pairs of stakeholders. We apply Social Network Analysis to study food waste reduction strategies in the City of Ferrara (Italy). Our results provide support for the practical relevance of multiple interactions across dyadic relationships in stakeholder networks. They also suggest that 'third parties' are not necessary for an effective networking strategy, and that relationships between stakeholders of similar levels of expertise are not required for establishing multiple relationships, 2 suggesting that functionally diverse coalitions are of greater practical relevance for food waste management strategies.

“…Food entering the household is subject to normal household practices. Studies of these practices have shown that the likelihood that food will be wasted is affected by the way consumers plan, shop, store and cook food and the way they are guided [4,5]. There are different types of waste, such as industrial waste, agricultural waste, household waste, health center waste, organic waste and toxic waste [6].…”

“…In recent years, many studies have focused on understanding food waste at the consumer level. Much less research has focused on retailing, even less on the causes and levels of food waste [4]. Over the years, food waste has become an acute problem: over 88 million tons of food waste are produced annually in Europe and over 1.3 billion tons worldwide.…”

With population growth, huge waste is generated every day. Widely used plastics, advanced technology and other materialistic things. This has led to different characteristics of the waste, which has become a difficult problem for the management and disposal of household waste. The article addresses food safety issues. The main objective of the study is to review the implementation of the program for the disposal and disposal of waste. The problem of partial utilization of household waste is relevant, first of all, from the point of view of negative environmental impact.
