The hospitality and food service (HaFS) sector is a significant source of food waste in the UK. Despite policy efforts to reduce this through local and national initiatives, the relationship between behaviours and attitudes of HaFS managers and the context in which their businesses operate is not widely understood in relation to how these might impact food waste. Current research to address this is limited and I therefore aim to bridge this knowledge gap by interlinking context (venue, geography, policy, competition factors) with managerial behaviours to holistically assess how and why certain food waste prevention measures could be more effective.Based in the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, this research will be conducted in collaboration with two prominent local food waste organisations (Project BIND and Food Newcastle) as they present a valuable opportunity to access local HaFS managers and general local HaFS business data.Together, we will investigate how manager's attitudes and behaviours along with contextual factors, contribute to food waste and food redistribution at the city level. Using a citizen science methodology, we will conduct surveys to map and describe the contextual factors influencing food waste. I will then develop a conceptual model linking context factors and managerial factors that might determine waste. From this, I aim to develop a field experiment to test alternative interventions to mitigate food waste or improve its redistribution to vulnerable populations.The path to impact is a three-point strategy by contributing to academic theory, policy recommendations and social welfare.

酒店和食品服务（HaFS）部门是英国食物浪费的重要来源。尽管政策努力通过地方和国家举措减少这一点，但HaFS管理人员的行为和态度与其业务运营环境之间的关系并没有被广泛理解，这些行为和态度可能会如何影响食物浪费。目前解决这一问题的研究是有限的，因此，我的目标是通过相互联系的背景来弥合这一知识差距（场地、地理、政策、竞争因素）与管理行为相结合，以全面评估某些食物浪费预防措施如何以及为什么会更有效。总部设在泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔市，这项研究将与当地两个著名的食物浪费组织合作进行。（项目BIND和食品纽卡斯尔），因为他们提供了一个宝贵的机会，访问当地的HaFS经理和一般的当地HaFS业务数据。一起，我们将调查经理的态度和行为沿着与上下文因素，在城市一级造成食物浪费和食物再分配。使用公民科学方法，我们将进行调查，以映射和描述影响食物浪费的背景因素。然后，我将建立一个概念模型，将可能决定浪费的环境因素和管理因素联系起来。在此基础上，我将开展一项实地实验，以测试减少食物浪费或改善其向弱势群体再分配的替代干预措施。影响之路是一个三点战略，即贡献学术理论，政策建议和社会福利。
