Abstract

[Several initiatives have been put forward worldwide to tackle food waste at consumer level. Yet, up until now, a comprehensive analysis and a categorization of the most relevant ones have not been proposed. In this chapter we will seek to fill this literature gap, providing a cluster analysis of the main food waste initiatives. The purposes of this analysis have been: (i) to identify the main initiatives implemented at international level against food waste at consumption level; (ii) to create homogenous groups of similar initiatives through a cluster analysis; (iii) to highlight the differences and similarities of the initiatives across the different countries. Moreover, a brief excursus on how some big food corporations are dealing with food waste and how food sharing models can be important in reducing the phenomenon has been presented.]
