摘要

According to the observation of Food and Agricultural Organization (Food wastage footprint and climate change, 2011. https://www.fao.org/3/bb144e/bb144e.pdf). One third of the worldwide produced food being lost or wasted due to poor agricultural technologies and improper food management system leading to sustainability issues. The existing researches reveal that many developed countries and some developing countries are responsible for large scale food waste but the ways of food waste are different. Under the backdrop, the present study aims to investigate whether the status of the countries is responsible for food waste where status is defined in two terms: agricultural dependence as measured in percentage of total working population engaged in agricultural activities and developmental status as captured by the per capita income. For the purpose, the study uses the data on food waste as is observed in export and import channels for world’s 40 countries for the period 1991–2019 and applies statistical tool such as product moment and rank correlation analysis and econometric exercise such as panel cointegration and panel causality for separate clusters to have the associations of food waste with agricultural dependence and per capita income, and whether there are long-term associations or and short term dynamics among these variables in a panel data model. The results show that the countries belonging to the clusters of low agricultural dependence and high incomes are responsible for more food waste and vice-versa leading to the unsustainable food production and consumption.
