Abstract:
There is mounting evidence that a considerable quantity of food is wasted globally, negatively impacting sustainability. Food waste reduction is a key sustainability concern for the food service business. Despite its importance to the worldwide food service sector, the relationship between innovation strategies and food waste management has gotten little attention in academic research. Waste management improvements are used in this application. It is based on an evaluation of incremental and revolutionary waste management systems and innovations that combine practice-driven initiatives with waste management systems. The study shows a variety of waste management initiatives, demonstrating how management's beliefs, knowledge, goals, and actions affect how each initiative is implemented in the food service industry. Practitioners could gain a better understanding of the factors that influence the adoption of technologies to reduce food waste by using the concepts presented here.
