摘要

食物浪费是一个非常严重的问题，不仅在道德和社会方面，而且考虑到其经济和环境影响（参见资源浪费和消耗）。最近的数据显示，欧盟一半以上的粮食浪费是由家庭造成的。不幸的是，FW在阿尔巴尼亚没有得到很好的解决。为此，在2016年8月至11月期间，对185名阿尔巴尼亚人进行了一项探索性在线调查，以分析阿尔巴尼亚家庭粮食浪费的原因、程度和影响。大多数受访者的教育水平较高，这可能会影响调查结果。然而，研究结果表明，人们对FW负面影响的认识仍然很低。与此同时，尽管FW似乎很高，但很少有公共举措和运动来解决这个问题。因此，现在是时候制定一项全面的战略，提高阿尔巴尼亚社会对FW负面影响的认识，并增加对食品购买管理、消费习惯和相关食品储存的了解。

Household food wastage in Albania: causes, extent and implications

Food waste (FW) is a very serious issue not only in ethical and social terms, but also given its economic and environmental impacts (cf. resource wastage and depletion). Recent data show that more than half of food wastage in the European Union is generated in households. FW is unfortunately not well addressed in Albania. For this reason, an exploratory online survey was carried out in the period August–November 2016 with 185 Albanians to analyse the causes, extent and implications of household food wastage in Albania. Most of the respondents have a high education level, which might have affected the survey’s outcomes. Nevertheless, results showed that awareness about negative impacts of FW is still low. Alongside, although FW seems high, few public initiatives and campaigns are put in place to tackle the issue. Therefore, it’s time to move towards a comprehensive strategy that raises awareness on FW negative impacts in the Albanian society and increases knowledge on food purchase management, consumption habits and related food storage.

期刊介绍： Future of Food: Journal on Food, Agriculture & Society (FOFJ) was founded in 2012 in order to provide a platform for scientific debate on agriculture and food-related themes with the goal of a sustainable future for people and planet. The journal is aimed at contributing to debates on sustainable food production and consumption, and is most interested in tackling the most important challenges to the global agri-food system, such as hunger and malnutrition, depletion of natural resources, climate change, threats to biodiversity, and inequity in the agrarian sphere. The journal understands itself as a multi-disciplinary effort and is especially designed to foster interaction between different disciplines and approaches. Hence it invites inputs from social and natural sciences, arts and humanities, academics and scholar-activists, civil society and agroecology practitioners. The journal is attempting to reach its goal by providing open access to readers and allowing contributions without submission fees or publication fees. Contributors are kindly asked to keep in mind that the journal is a non-profit endeavour and that staff time is limited. The journal cannot provide guarantees or financial support for any submission and cannot accept legal responsibility for any stage of the submission process. The Editorial Board is made up by a range of international experts who devote time and energy to peer review and its members deserve gratitude and recognition for their excellent work. All communication between authors, editors, reviewers and editorial staff is conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect. The journal will not tolerate racism, religious, ethnic and national chauvinism, misogynous and hate language and reserves the right to bar anyone who disrespects these principles from using the platform.
