Same Same But Different – Using Anthropomorphism in the Battle Against Food Waste
In this research we propose the use of anthropomorphism (adding human characteristics) in a point-of-purchase display as an intervention to reduce food waste and promote the sale of misshapen fruits and vegetables. Findings indicate that applying anthropomorphism to a product positively affects sensory perception, and in turn increases purchase intention.
