摘要：Food is produced for consumption, either in raw form or cooked form. Still, when it gets wasted due to wasteful consumer behaviour, it becomes alarming for society and the environment. When thrown into the bin, food fit for human consumption turns into food waste. Various drivers were identified for food waste, such as consumer behaviour, unskilled workforce, intention, perceived behavioural control, and increasing disposable income. In the present study, a bibliometric analysis of 2498 publications from 2000 to 2022 (February) is done with the help of VOSviewer to investigate the research publication trends in food waste generating due to consumer behaviour. To find out the most dominated journals, researchers, and research organisationshandling consumer behaviour leading to food waste, to figure out the highly cited research publications in the present research area and their impact on society. To prepare a thematic research cluster and determine the most dominant research terms in wasteful consumer behaviour. www.dimensions.ai free database app is used to extract the data to analyse the objectives mentioned above. A tremendous increase in the publication was found since 2015, i.e., 500%. Journal of cleaner publication is the leading Journal having 3836 citations and a total link strength (TLS) of 140329. The University of Oxford (17 documents, 1979 citations, and 2635 of TLS) was the most influential organisation in consumer behaviour, leading to food waste research. The University of Oxford (17 documents, 1979 citations, and 2635 TLS) was the leading organisation in the present study. The United States topped the ranking with 428 articles, having citations of 6745 and a TLS of 108742. “Food waste within food supply chains: quantification and potential for change to 2050” was the most-cited research publication. Product (787), use (563), data (502), production (489), and review (484) are the most occurred keywords found in the present study. The present study helps in connecting the relation between FW and consumer behaviour, which is one of the most significant concerns in the current scenario, justified by the massive increase in the publication in the last five years. More research is required in this field to fight against this global concern to achieve the SDGs12 and 13.
