摘要

食物浪费，特别是家庭中的食物浪费，是一个紧迫的问题。与他人分享多余的食物可能是解决这个问题的一种策略。为了鼓励分享，这项研究引入了一种干预措施，包括给别人食物的指导方针和提醒个人这样做的贴纸。通过一项实地研究（N = 199），我们从给予者的角度检验了这种干预对食物分享和其他家庭对即将过期食物行为的有效性。结果表明，在食物进入家庭后的两周内，干预持续增加了食物分享的百分比。此外，它还增加了参与分享的个人数量。此外，干预措施减少了储存食物的百分比，从而减少了决策延迟和食物被遗忘和最终浪费的风险。我们的发现为促进食物分享提供了一种实际的干预措施。

Sharing to prevent waste: The effectiveness of an intervention encouraging food sharing

Food waste, especially in households, is a pressing issue. Sharing excess food with others can be a strategy to tackle this issue. To encourage sharing, this research introduces an intervention involving a guideline on giving food to others and stickers reminding individuals to do so. Through a field study (N = 199), we examine the effectiveness of this intervention on food sharing and other household behaviors towards near-expired food from the giver’s perspective. The results show that the intervention consistently increased the percentage of food shared in the two weeks after the food had entered the household. In addition, it also increased the number of individuals engaged in sharing. Besides, the intervention reduces the percentage of food put in storage, which diminishes decision-making delays and the risk of the food being forgotten and wasted eventually. Our findings offer a practical intervention to facilitate food sharing.

期刊介绍： The journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling welcomes contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal prioritizes understanding the transformation processes crucial for transitioning toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. It highlights technological, economic, institutional, and policy aspects related to specific resource management practices such as conservation, recycling, and resource substitution, as well as broader strategies like improving resource productivity and restructuring production and consumption patterns. Contributions may address regional, national, or international scales and can range from individual resources or technologies to entire sectors or systems. Authors are encouraged to explore scientific and methodological issues alongside practical, environmental, and economic implications. However, manuscripts focusing solely on laboratory experiments without discussing their broader implications will not be considered for publication in the journal.
