Throwing Out the Apples and the Oranges: a Comparison of Methods to Measure In-Home Food Waste
In-home food waste has become a global concern in recent years, and multiple methods have been proposed to measure this. This study empirically compares five methods: diaries, general survey questions, photo coding, kitchen caddies, and week-based survey questions. Results indicate which measures are more appropriate to assess in-home food waste.
