Abstract
Several studies identify food wastage as a global challenge which has a major negative impact on
poverty reduction and addressing food insecurity. Food wastage also poses many challenges in
terms of food security to South Africans, including residents in Cape Town. As a result, the people
who are disadvantaged the most when food is wasted, are poor and destitute communities. For
these reasons, this study assesses household food wastage, food waste patterns and people’s
behaviour towards food wastage in Wallacedene, Kraaifontein.
