YOUTH’S FOOD WASTE IN 2020-2021 – INTERMEDIATE STUDY ON FOOD WASTE DURING THE COVID – 19 PANDEMIC

Ioana Mihaela Balan, Adrian Daniel Gencia, Ana Mariana Dincu

Abstract


During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, due to isolation, on the one hand, and on the other hand, due to restricted access to purchase food, by reducing the working hours of food markets, consumers changed their food behaviour. Young people aged 18-25, who largely no longer live with their parents, have undergone changes in their daily routine, which has often affected the level of food waste. Most of them said they bought more food and wasted more than they usually did. The topic of food waste is of great interest to many Romanian consumers, most of whom say they are interested in this topic. However, food waste is very present in the behaviour of consumers in Romania, being in an upward trend, especially during the last year, the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
