In 2000, food waste generation in Indonesia was 39%, while in 2019 it increased to 55%. And 44% of food waste is food that is still suitable for consumption. There are various factors that can affect the amount of food waste generation. One of them is food waste behavior or someone's behavior towards food waste.
