    Household food waste (FW) has huge environmental and socio-economic impacts. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a survey was carried out in North Macedonia to explore perceptions and attitudes towards FW at the household level. A self-administered questionnaire was available online from 15th of May until June 30, 2020 and the sample size was 754. A very high percentage of the respondents (94.16%) expressed a high awareness of food waste and declared to worry about this issue trying to avoid food waste as much as possible. Moreover, the results showed that 41.38% of the respondents think to waste a low amount of food while 27.98% state not to throw almost anything. Meanwhile, 52.39% of the respondents believe that they do not throw away food that is still consumable. About 22.54% of them think to throw less than 250 g followed by those who think to throw between 250 and 500 g (18.04%). The survey showed that the most wasted food groups are cereals and bakery products, fruit, vegetables, and milk and dairy products. Concerning economic value, most of the respondents (53.18%) believe to spend less than 5 EUR on food wasted while 42.04% of them think to spend between 5 and 25 EUR. Regarding shopping behaviour during COVID-19, only about a half of the respondents (48.28%) stated to go shopping like they used to do. The respondents declared that they have bought during COVID-19 more vegetables (72.30%) and fruits (68.60%), which might imply that they are moving towards healthier diets. It seems that food wastage has increased during the COVID-19 for about a third of the respondents (34.70%). The survey showed that the COVID-19 pandemic affected food purchase, wastage and consumption behaviours in North Macedonia. Such a finding should inform future policies and initiatives relating to agriculture, food and health during the recovery period

    Household food wastage in Albania: causes, extent and implications
    (University of Kassel, 2020) Preka, Rovena; Berjan, Sinisa; Capone, Roberto; El Bilali, Hamid; Sadegh Allahyari, Mohammad; Debs, Philipp; Bottalico, Francesco; Mrdalj, Vesna
    Food waste (FW) is a very serious issue not only in ethical and social terms, but also given its economic and environmental impacts (cf. resource wastage and depletion). Recent data show that more than half of food wastage in the European Union is generated in households. FW is unfortunately not well addressed in Albania. For this reason, an exploratory online survey of 185 Albanians was carried out during August–November 2016 to analyse the causes, extent and implications of household food wastage in Albania. Most of the respondents’ profile included a high education level, which may have affected the survey’s outcomes. Nevertheless, results showed that awareness about negative impacts of FW is still low. Although FW seems high, few public initiatives and campaigns are put in place to tackle the issue. Therefore, it is time to move towards a comprehensive strategy that raises awareness on FW negative impacts in the Albanian society and increase knowledge on food purchase management, consumption habits and related food storage.
