"Australians waste around 7.68 million tonnes of food a year. This costs the
economy an estimated A$36.6 billion and households up to $2,500 annually.
Much of this food is wasted at home. So while consumers are increasingly aware
of sustainability issues, awareness does not always translate into better food
management in practice.
Our previous research revealed people differ in the ways they generate and
dispose of food waste.
Our latest study takes a closer look at two groups who care deeply about food,
for different reasons. It exposes a paradox: people who prioritise healthy
eating waste less food, while those focused on sustainability do not
necessarily follow through with waste reduction.
This suggests encouraging healthier eating habits might be a better way to cut
household food waste than sustainability messaging alone."
