摘要：Food waste has formidable harmful consequences for food security, the environment, the economy, and biodiversity loss, making it a worldwide issue that demands immediate action. Reducing the amount of food waste has been deemed critical in Malaysia, thus, this study investigates the factors related to household food wastage with the aims of identifying the level of awareness as well as the causes and effects of food waste among residents of Raub, Pahang. It presents a qualitative research approach to allow the researcher to explore deeper into the area of minimizing household food waste. The findings suggest that the level of awareness and understanding of the impact of food waste on the environment among the households in Raub, Pahang, Malaysia is still low. As the food waste issue is positioned as an “end of pipe”, further initiatives involving more people in the whole food system should be considered as well as awareness since everyone holds the responsibility to reduce waste.
