ABSTRACT

Conserving natural resources has socio-cultural underpinnings. Food is a fundamental natural resource, and its waste at the household level has received significant attention across the globe. Food waste reduction campaigns are a prominent way to bring social change to minimise food waste. This study explores the influence of food waste reduction campaigns from a cultural perspective. Specifically, it examines the effects of food waste reduction campaigns organised by a state government agency and a major supermarket chain on three South Asian communities (Indian, Bangladesh and Sri Lankan) living in Australia. Using data from 90 participants in nine focus groups, we found that cultural-religious backgrounds of the specific Asian communities significantly impact their food behaviour. These three communities share cultural similarities about frugality, food insecurity, and religion. In some instances, consumers from all three communities felt excluded from the food waste minimisation campaigns due to unfamiliar campaign faces, western menus, and inappropriate messages and moral appeal. To make food waste reduction campaigns more effective, the principles of social marketing must be employed in campaign design. It is also crucial that the target communities trust the campaign sponsors. Campaign communications could also benefit from a cultural-religious based consumer market segmentation e.g. by customising the campaign messages to include culture-specific emotional and moral appeals.

减少食物浪费运动的挑战:对澳大利亚亚洲消费者的要求

摘要

保护自然资源具有社会文化基础。食物是一种基本的自然资源,家庭层面的食物浪费在全球范围内受到了极大关注。减少食物浪费运动是带来社会变革以最大程度减少食物浪费的重要方式。本研究从文化角度探讨了减少食物浪费运动的影响。具体来说,它研究了州政府机构和大型连锁超市组织的减少食物浪费活动对生活在澳大利亚的三个南亚社区(印度人、孟加拉国和斯里兰卡人)的影响。使用来自九个焦点小组的 90 名参与者的数据,我们发现特定亚洲社区的文化宗教背景显着影响他们的饮食行为。这三个社区在节俭、粮食不安全和宗教方面具有相似的文化。在某些情况下,由于不熟悉的活动面孔、西式菜单以及不恰当的信息和道德诉求,来自所有三个社区的消费者都感到被排除在食物浪费最小化活动之外。为了使减少食物浪费的活动更加有效,必须在活动设计中采用社会营销原则。目标社区信任竞选赞助商也很重要。活动传播还可以受益于基于文化-宗教的消费者市场细分,例如通过定制活动信息以包括特定于文化的情感和道德诉求。由于不熟悉的活动面孔、西式菜单以及不恰当的信息和道德诉求,所有三个社区的消费者都感到被排除在食物浪费最小化活动之外。为了使减少食物浪费的活动更加有效,必须在活动设计中采用社会营销原则。目标社区信任竞选赞助商也很重要。活动传播还可以受益于基于文化-宗教的消费者市场细分,例如通过定制活动信息以包括特定于文化的情感和道德诉求。由于不熟悉的活动面孔、西式菜单以及不恰当的信息和道德诉求,所有三个社区的消费者都感到被排除在食物浪费最小化活动之外。为了使减少食物浪费的活动更加有效,必须在活动设计中采用社会营销原则。目标社区信任竞选赞助商也很重要。活动传播还可以受益于基于文化-宗教的消费者市场细分,例如通过定制活动信息以包括特定于文化的情感和道德诉求。目标社区信任竞选赞助商也很重要。活动传播还可以受益于基于文化-宗教的消费者市场细分,例如通过定制活动信息以包括特定于文化的情感和道德诉求。目标社区信任竞选赞助商也很重要。活动传播还可以受益于基于文化-宗教的消费者市场细分,例如通过定制活动信息以包括特定于文化的情感和道德诉求。
