A roadmap to reduce food waste in Europe

franka.paetzke — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 10:18:25 +0000

Report

This report adopts a Bayesian hierarchical mixed-effects modelling approach, based on previous REFRESH work, to quantify the relationships between socioeconomic and demographic indicators and household food waste and the potential impact of an external intervention on food waste.

A pan-European simulation of selected interventions

franka.paetzke — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 10:14:25 +0000

Report

This report consists in a series of reports developing estimates for household food waste levels under four different scenarios for each European country and for the whole EU28.

Pan-European scenarios of food waste levels

franka.paetzke — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 10:13:50 +0000

Report

This report collects 29 single food waste scenarios (28 country scenarios and a prediction scenario related to the whole EU-28), describing the amounts of food wasted every year by an average household and are based on predictions of food waste levels conducted considering the current values of different socioeconomic and demographic factors.

Behavioural Economics: Linking Bayesian and agent-based models to assess consumer food waste

franka.paetzke — Tue, 11 Jun 2019 13:41:07 +0000

Report

This report presents the results of the simulations from an integrated model of consumer food waste. This is the first step in developing a model that can assess the impact of policy interventions on reducing food waste among consumers. Final aim is to create a predictive and dynamic policy support tool for a road map for the 50% reduction of European food waste by 2030. This model combines an Agent Based Model and a Bayesian Network.

Behavioural economics: Assessing Food Waste innovations diffusion through Agent Based Models (ABM)

franka.paetzke — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 12:03:22 +0000

Report

Food Waste is problem related to all the actors of the Food Value Chain: producers, retailers and consumers. In this context, retail sector plays an important role in tackling the food waste problem. Food waste at the retail level can be reduced through the adoption of food waste reducing innovations. The authors investigate the most relevant factors that promote the adoption of those innovations among retailers.

Model integration - Integrated socio-economic model on food waste

franka.paetzke — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 14:13:26 +0000

Report

The model architecture described in this deliverable provides the framework through which data and simulations from the data on food waste at a consumer level and at a retail level can be integrated into simulation models. This report highlights the technical approaches followed to achieve model integration.

REFRESH interim results to 2018 presented in brochure

keighley.mcfarland — Wed, 01 Aug 2018 14:55:04 +0000

Flyer

This brochure describes the interim results of the REFRESH (Resource Efficient Food and dRink for the Entire Supply cHain) project through May 2018. REFRESH’s research into the behaviours, economics, and relationships that lead to food waste will inform future recommendations for efficient and versatile solutions to food waste at all levels of production.

The use of systems models to identify food waste drivers

keighley.mcfarland — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 15:44:36 +0000

Scientific Paper

This peer-reviewed paper finds that consumer food waste is influenced by country, age, student status, and belief that the family wastes too much, and suggests how policy interventions can be designed to target these drivers.

Model Development and Data Protocol

SNA — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 10:41:23 +0000

Report

This report provides the methodological background needed to identify and measure the most important socio-economic conditions and potential policy interventions driving businesses’ and consumers’ choices in the generation of food waste, using a behavioural economics approach.

Socio-Economic Implications of Food Waste: Economics of Innovation

SNA — Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:54:32 +0000

Report

Innovation is fundamental for preventing or reducing business food waste. REFRESH identifies the drivers of technological (process or product) and organizational innovation and their impact on waste. Economic gains (competitiveness and productivity) and territorial specificities are the main drivers of adoption..

Socio-Economic Implications of Food Waste: Business Behavioural Typologies and Interrelationships

SNA — Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:41:33 +0000

Report

Firms’ adoption of innovations for addressing food waste is a complex phenomenon, as it may be driven also by non-economic factors. REFRESH has identified the behavioural typologies that influence adoption

Consumers' Behavioural Economic Interrelationships and Typologies

SNA — Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:13:00 +0000

Report

Quantifying and understanding inconsistency in the generation of consumer food waste is particularly important, to target intervention strategies where they are most efficient. This report analyses two of the largest available datasets to define consumer behavioural typologies and develop a systems map to illustrate potential links between consumer behaviour and the creation/reduction of food waste.
