Abstract

Food waste is a major worldwide problem that has important implications for sustainability. The issue has received scholarly interest because of its environmental, social, and economic implications. Adopting segregation practices in the food sector has become widely accepted as a practical approach to reducing food wastage. Given the food sector’s significant contribution to waste generation, it is critical to investigate the factors that influence the adoption of segregation practices in this sector. This study examines the influences by synthesising findings from prior studies between 2020 and 2024. Using a comprehensive literature review, the findings discuss critical factors impacting food waste segregation while highlighting existing gaps and limitations in the sector. These findings also provide future research with significant information and suggestions consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim to promote effective and sustainable food waste management strategies. It also contributes significantly to the body of knowledge and practical ideas for developing sustainable practices in the food sector.
