Abstract

The concern surrounding food waste is influenced by various societal factors. Previous research suggests that urbanization has a significant impact on the food system, resulting in increased food waste. Moreover, reducing food waste leads to sustainable production and consumption. Thus, this research aims to analyze the factors that influence food waste behavior in urban landscapes and develop a solution to tackle food waste behavior among households in Asian and Middle Eastern countries. According to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, 41 articles were selected out of 7.058 papers retrieved from the Scopus database and Web of Science database and reviewed. The results indicated five domains essential in reducing household food waste: household attributes, psychological factors, behavioral factors, situational factors, and food attributes. The systematic review suggests that understanding consumer needs, family needs, and consumption patterns, as well as increasing awareness of the negative impact of food waste, enables the mitigation of household food waste production in the urban landscape.

解决城市景观中的食物浪费：对亚洲国家和中东国家家庭食物浪费的系统审查

对食物浪费的关注受到各种社会因素的影响。先前的研究表明，城市化对粮食系统产生了重大影响，导致粮食浪费增加。此外，减少食物浪费可以实现可持续的生产和消费。因此，本研究旨在分析影响城市景观中食物浪费行为的因素，并制定解决亚洲和中东国家家庭食物浪费行为的解决方案。根据PRISMA （Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and meta - analysis）指南，从Scopus数据库和Web of Science数据库中检索的7.058篇论文中选择41篇进行综述。结果表明，减少家庭食物浪费的关键因素有五个方面：家庭属性、心理因素、行为因素、情境因素和食物属性。系统审查表明，了解消费者需求、家庭需求和消费模式，以及提高对食物垃圾负面影响的认识，有助于减少城市环境中家庭食物垃圾的产生。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management has a twofold focus: research in technical, political, and environmental problems of material cycles and waste management; and information that contributes to the development of an interdisciplinary science of material cycles and waste management. Its aim is to develop solutions and prescriptions for material cycles. The journal publishes original articles, reviews, and invited papers from a wide range of disciplines related to material cycles and waste management. The journal is published in cooperation with the Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management (JSMCWM) and the Korea Society of Waste Management (KSWM).
