Ajouter un tag | Résumé: | In Ecuador 939 metric tons of food were wasted per year before the beginning of the global pandemic, which is equivalent to a loss of 332 million dollars per year. Thus, the present investigation tries to examine the effect of COVID-19 on food waste in households in the city of Loja during the pandemic. For this analysis, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Partial Least Squares Structural Equations (PLS-SEM) were used. The results obtained show that social norms, environmental awareness and COVID-19 have significant values and affect food waste in households in the city of Loja. Accordingly, if consumer behavior and habits had changed before the pandemic, food waste would have decreased. Therefore, it is important to promote food donation campaigns to the neediest people, properly store food and, on the other hand create a meal plan to buy, prepare the necessary food, and make a shopping list; thus can mitigate food waste in the city of Loja. |
