Abstract

Food waste is bad behaviour that is throwing away food that is still fit for consumption. While the world is facing the problem of food safety and malnutrition, on the other hand, the food waste produced is increasing. Does this also happen with vegetables and fruit commodities in Indonesia? This study has two objectives: (1) To know the number of vegetables and fruits waste produced by households, (2) The effect of food waste management and other factors on vegetables and fruit waste behaviour by households. One hundred and fifty respondents who live in the Sleman district, Yogyakarta have been interviewed. The amount of food waste produced by a household is measured by estimating the amount of vegetable and fruit leftovers produced. The statistical method uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyse the factors that influenced household behaviour towards fruit and vegetable food waste. The results of the study showed the quantity of vegetables is 4,9 kg per household/week and fruits food waste is 10,7 kg per household/week. Food management factors such as planning habits and storage management have a 49,5% correlation to increased perceived behavioural control. Perceived behavioural control, intention, and religious knowledge are factors that could reduce food waste behaviour.
