      abstract = {This book presents what is the state-of-the-art in the  field of the food waste phenomenon at consumer level,  including a thorough literature review, and it highlights  trends in the field. It provides a comprehensive starting  point for future research. Food waste represents a major  public policy issue, which is included in the UN  Sustainable Development Goals. In this context, the present  work identifies the most important definitions given to  food waste and its environmental, social and economic  impacts. With a comprehensive literature review that covers  a forty-year time span (1977-2017), this book highlights  the multiple, complex facets of food waste at the consumer  level. Drawing from behavioural and marketing theories, it  proposes a new theoretical framework with the aim to better  explain food waste behaviour. Extensive research is being  carried out on the main worldwide initiatives (both public  and private) and food policies aimed at tackling the  phenomenon. },
