Mixed-methods approaches demonstrate effective food waste reduction strategies in urban Ghanaian households, suggesting community initiatives are beneficial.
Urban Ghanaian residential kitchens are significant contributors to food waste, posing challenges for sustainable development and resource management. A mixed-methods approach involving surveys and qualitative interviews across four communities, employing structured data collection tools. Households exhibited a strong preference for using leftovers creatively, with over 70% indicating they would reuse or repurpose food waste daily. Behavioural economics interventions can effectively reduce food waste in Ghanaian urban kitchens by leveraging household preferences and creative solutions.
