Food Distribution and Saving in Hungary

Abstract

In my thesis is I investigated one of the biggest contradictions in our world, starvation and food waste. I looked into the process of food rescue and I gained an insight into the operation of food banks. In my questionnaire research I have shown that our school’s students waste food on an average level and are moderately informed about the topic of starvation. In their opinion, the solution to the problem would be the conscious consumer behaviour. The main conclusion of my thesis is that the best thing we can do to prevent food waste is to prevent it. The way to do this is to become a conscious consumer, which requires a change of attitude among adults. This consumer awareness and change of attitude can be integrated into the everyday life of children, becoming a part of their lives, and thus a greater reduction in the global problem might be expected.
