How to Influence Consumer Food Waste Behavior: Effects of Temporal Distance and Providing Nutritional Information on Consumption Choices and Disposal Behavior
One-third of all edible food for human consumption is wasted. Consumers are the largest contributors, suggesting a mismatch between consumers’ predicted and actual consumption. This paper examines how the temporal distance between consumption decisions and actual consumption influences food waste. Moreover, we investigate the effects of nutrition labelling on disposal.
