dc.description.abstractThis research was developed to investigate people’s attitudes towards food waste and how these possibly change according to sociodemographic groups. The consumer study was carried out in 16 countries (Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, and United States of America), and involved 11916 participants. The main questions related to food waste were: Q1. When I cook I have in mind the quantities to avoid food waste; Q2. It is important to me that the food I eat comes from my own country; Q3. I avoid going to restaurants that do not have a recovery policy of food surplus. The questionnaire as applied online and for the treatment of the data, the SPSS was used, considering a level of significance of 5% in all tests. Parametric tests (T-test and ANOVA) were used to compare means between groups. A classification tree analysis was also performed, following the Classification and Regression Trees (CRT) algorithm with cross-validation. The results allowed confirming that the country was the most influential factor of all variables considered, and statistically significant differences were between groups for practically all sociodemographic variables, in terms of avoiding food waste when cooking at home, choosing foods locally and preferring restaurants that promote food recovery. In conclusion, this work showed an interesting perspective of how sociodemographic and geographic variability can shape consumer’s attitudes regarding food waste.por
