The thesis explores the phenomenon of food waste in the restaurant sector, analyzing its economic and environmental impacts, as well as effective mitigation strategies. It highlights the main causes of food waste, including inefficient resource management, inadequate operational practices, and lack of awareness among staff. From an economic perspective, food waste incurs significant costs for businesses, negatively affecting profitability. Environmentally, it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, water resource waste, and biodiversity loss. The thesis also proposes mitigation strategies such as optimizing procurement and storage processes, staff training, implementing advanced technologies, and raising consumer awareness. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of an integrated and collaborative approach to reducing food waste and promoting more sustainable dining practices.
La tesi esplora il fenomeno degli sprechi alimentari nel settore della ristorazione, analizzandone gli impatti economici e ambientali, nonché le strategie di mitigazione efficaci. Verranno evidenziate le principali cause degli sprechi alimentari, tra cui la gestione inefficiente delle risorse, le pratiche operative inadeguate e la mancanza di consapevolezza tra il personale. Dal punto di vista economico, gli sprechi alimentari comportano costi significativi per le imprese, influenzando negativamente la redditività. Sul fronte ambientale, contribuiscono all'emissione di gas serra, allo spreco di risorse idriche e alla perdita di biodiversità. La tesi propone inoltre strategie di mitigazione, quali l'ottimizzazione dei processi di approvvigionamento e conservazione, la formazione del personale, l'implementazione di tecnologie avanzate e la sensibilizzazione dei consumatori.
