Abstract

This publication presents raw data from an online survey in Latvia that reflects households’ practices, opinions, attitudes, and social responsibility regarding food waste. A total of 1336 respondents (households) participated in the survey. The questionnaire consisted of three parts, with the first part focusing on daily food habits and shopping habits, the second part focusing on respondents’ opinions and social responsibility on food waste management, and the third part containing questions on the frequency of shopping for different product groups. The dataset presented in the publication includes survey questions and response options, as well as raw survey data that can be used to compare households’ food waste behavior across countries. The data can help policy makers make data-driven decisions or serve as the basis for further research.
