The publication carries the National Statistics logo but is a combination of National Statistics and other statistics. Those which are National Statistics are identified as being so. Data quality varies among the many data sources and where possible an indication is included in bullet points. For more information see the data set that accompanies each chapter of the main publication.

    Researchers put this data to a wide range of uses spanning from informing decisions on the general public’s choices through to local food policy making. It is often used for statistics on the food industry, on food prices, on balance of diet, international comparisons, food production to supply ratio, greenhouse gas emissions and food waste.

    Description

    This dataset was produced as part of the project: Reducing plastic packaging and food waste through product innovation simulation, funded by the NERC (Ref: NE/V010654/1). The wider project was concerned with building a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model that can simulate food and food packaging as it moves through a household, from purchase to disposal. The dataset is qualitative in nature. The motivation for the research was to inform current and future modelling efforts, to enhance project impact. 9 semi-structured, key informant interviews were conducted with a number of packaging industry experts, recruited through Packaging Industry trade shows, LinkedIn contacts, personal networking, and through participation in the project advisory board membership. These interviews were conducted remotely and informed consent was gained for each interview. The data collection contains 8 of these interviews, as one participant withdrew from the research at the anonymisation stage. Interview transcripts are stored as .docx files. Consent forms and information sheets can be viewed as part of the data documentation.

    Description

    Map and evaluate the effectiveness of food loss and waste reduction interventions in low- and middle-income countries, determine the reduction pathways related to waste prevention, re-use or recycling, and identify social, economic, environmental and nutritional co-benefits as they relate to the intervention. This will be done by: (i) systematically reviewing scientific and grey literature sources and (ii) conducting meta-analyses by food group where appropriate.

    Description

    This dataset provides the input files and results for the Tomato Household Simulation Model, which explores the impact of two interventions on the amount of packaging and tomato waste generated in UK households. The interventions studied include packaging format available on the market shelves and storage temperature (4 °C vs 7 °C). The dataset is organised into two folders, each representing an intervention, with subfolders containing input files for different scenarios. The provided data can be used to analyse the effectiveness of various strategies in reducing packaging and food waste and to inform policy-making and consumer behavior change efforts.
