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.enFood wastageHungerPovertyUbuntuUniversity of the Western Cape
