摘要：本文揭示了印尼“现代”食品供应基础设施（如超市）与传统食品供应基础设施（如挨家挨户摊贩和街头市场）之间的不平等权力关系和紧张关系。研究发现，现代超市现在在印度尼西亚很常见且很受欢迎，但众所周知，这些商店的做法通过维持严格的审美标准（例如，不完美的食物被扔掉）和推广“买一送一”优惠（从而鼓励消费者的冲动和批量购买）而增加了食物浪费。由于空间限制和掠夺性定价策略，传统食品基础设施（例如流动蔬菜摊贩（tukang sayur）和菜市场（pasar））的衰落将限制印度尼西亚人继续传统的“今天买今天吃”做法的能力。全面了解快速城市化城市的空间转型和不断变化的消费模式对于在印度尼西亚推广与实际情况相关的食物浪费预防和减少政策至关重要。
Abstract:This paper reveals the unequal power relations and the tensions between Indonesia’s “modern” food provisioning infrastructures (such as supermarkets) and traditional ones (such as door-to-door vendors and street markets). The research found that modern supermarkets are now commonplace and popular in Indonesia, yet those stores’ practices are known to increase food waste by maintaining stringent aesthetic standards (e.g., imperfect food gets tossed out) and promoting “buy one get one free” offers (thus encouraging consumers’ impulse and bulk purchases). The decline of traditional food infrastructures—such as mobile vegetable vendors (tukang sayur) and wet markets (pasar)—through spatial restrictions and predatory pricing strategies will limit the ability of Indonesians to continue traditional “buy today eat today” practices. A holistic understanding of the spatial transformation and changing consumption patterns in rapidly urbanizing cities is critical to promote contextually relevant food waste prevention and reduction policies in Indonesia.
