Household Food Waste Management during COVID-19 Pandemic in Thailand and Indonesia

Three objectives of the research are to analyze food waste (FW) awareness of undergraduate students to estimate the amount of household FW and its determinants, as well as to analyze food consumption management.

The sample of this study consists of 394 Srinakharinwirot (SWU) students’ households and 396 Gadjah Mada University (UGM) students’ households.

The main results of this study reveal that although FW awareness in both cases fall into the very good and excellent categories,
the average scores of the variable of FW Reduction Potential of both cases are the lowest compared to all variables.

Therefore, the awareness of young generation should be raised to understand well the negative impacts of FW particularly on the issue of FW reduction potential and improvement of food consumption behavior, so they will become more responsible food consumers.
