| Popis: | 106 Taiwanese food self-sufficiency ratio is only 32 percent; that is, the food purely produced in Taiwan can only feed 30 percent of total Taiwanese population. Taiwan relies on imported food heavily, which is a very dangerous situation if Taiwan encounters war, change of trade relationship, serious climate change. Food surplus and waste issue is a critical issue for all Taiwanese people. The majority of food waste in Taiwan is considered retail and consumption waste. However, Taiwanese retailers seem to act passively to deal with food surplus and waste. To find out the reason behind this, this study investigated Taiwanese retailer’s and customer’s attitude and worries toward food waste issue. The result of in-depth interview shows that their major worries are food safety and liability issue. This study collected solutions from a global point of view and provided an overall framework of food waste management which is comprised of ‘prevention’, ‘reuse’, and ‘recycling’. Furthermore, this study also proposed some useful strategies and solutions for Taiwanese retailers. Hopefully, this study can improve the food waste problem in the Taiwanese retail sector. |
