Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between food preparation and processing behaviors with FWB in households in Tanah Sareal District, Bogor City. This research employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consists of 110 households selected based on specific criteria. Data were collected through interviews using a questionnaire covering respondent characteristics, food preparation behavior, food processing behavior, and FWB. Data analysis was conducted using correlation tests. The results indicate that the majority of respondents exhibit poor food preparation behavior (68%) and food processing behavior (63.6%). Additionally, 63.6% of respondents also demonstrated poor FWB. Correlation tests revealed a significant positive relationship between food preparation behavior and FWB (p = 0.0001, r = 0.348) as well as between food processing behavior and FWB (p = 0.008, r = 0.252). This study concludes that better food preparation and processing behaviors are associated with lower levels of food waste in households. Therefore, education and interventions on household food management should be enhanced to reduce food waste and its negative environmental, economic, and social impacts.
