“…In this way, feelings of guilt can promote donations, because feeling guilty leads to a greater feeling of responsibility [83]. Wasting food is frequently associated with feelings of guilt and shame [84][85][86][87]. It will be interesting for future research to investigate the extent to which the feelings of guilt associated with food wastage impact the decisions of people from the food industry to donate their surplus food.…”

Abstract:As global concern about sustainability, food waste, and poverty increases, there is an urgent need to understand what motivates businesses to adopt pro-social and pro-environmental behaviours. This paper suggests that food redistribution organisations hold both pro-social and pro-environmental aims, due to their concern with reducing food surplus and food insecurity. To achieve this, they must motivate food businesses to donate their surplus food. However, little is known about the values, attitudes, and motives of food industry donors. The purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretical and conceptual overview to set out principles from which empirical data on food redistribution will be analysed or critiqued. Specifically, it explores pro-social and pro-environmental literature, as these fields have examined the motivations behind donations and reducing environmental impact. This review highlights that charitable giving of food is different to other inorganic material, such as money. Thus, future research is needed to capture the unique temporal, emotional, social, and environmental factors that motivate food donations. This information may contribute to the development of strategies that target and motivate people from the food industry to become food donors. Alternatively, it may reveal concerns about food donations, and highlight the need for other approaches to food waste and food insecurity.

“…These gaps in literature 55 exist because the significance of food waste has been recognised only recently, and due to the way 56 food waste has been approached in research (Garrone et al, 2014). Food waste has been studied 57 largely from an engineering, technological perspective, with the exception of a small but growing 58 number of researchers from other disciplines (Cohen, 2015;Edwards and Mercer, 2007;Evans, 2014;59 Papargyropoulou et al, 2014). In addition, food waste has predominately been studied either 60 through quantitative (see Beretta et al, 2013) or qualitative (e.g.…”

“…This approach shows the collision in values between political activists, who appropriate waste for redistributive purposes and/or as a critique of the profligacy of contemporary consumption [67, 68,69], and the alliance of interests that constitute waste as private property [70]. Further, it shows that waste policy is not best conceptualised as a reaction to the problem of capitalist surplus but rather contributes to constituting that surplus, by transforming waste from non-accumulating to accumulating capital [65 p 206].…”
