The Reality Of Household Food Waste Reduction Among Families In Chlef Province: An Analysis Of Awareness, Behaviors, And Influencing Factors
Authors : Nacef Mohammed .
Abstract
Abstract: This study examines household food waste reduction among Algerian families in Chlef Province by assessing awareness, behaviors, and influencing factors. A questionnaire was distributed to 271 households, and data were analyzed using SPSS (Version 26). The findings reveal a high level of awareness regarding food waste reduction, yet a gap persists between knowledge and actual behavior. External factors have minimal impact, as families primarily rely on personal consumption choices but face challenges in applying waste-reduction strategies, such as meal planning and food reuse. Despite these difficulties, families contribute positively to minimizing food waste. The study underscores the need to bridge the gap between awareness and practice by strengthening both educational initiatives and practical measures. Encouraging sustainable consumption habits and supporting households in adopting effective strategies are essential to ensuring that awareness translates into meaningful daily actions, ultimately fostering a more responsible approach to food consumption and waste reduction.
