Food Loss and Food Waste Education for School Students in Krabi Thailand

Abstract

Food loss and food waste are serious problems that must be dealt with throughout life. As long as living things still need food, the problem of food loss and food waste will continue to be in line with life. Education about awareness of these problems must start early, so that the next generation will continue to be able to solve the problem of food waste. The community service program carried out at Eakkapapsasanawich Islamic School and Adameesuksavittaya School, Krabi, Thailand through food loss and food waste education activities aims to, among others: (1) increase students' understanding and insight into the importance of food loss and food waste, (2) increase awareness and responsible attitudes in managing waste, and (3) increase students' knowledge about the impact of food loss and food waste in the long term. The method of implementing this service is the fun learning method. The stages of implementing this activity include: preparation, interactive learning, and follow-up. The results of the implementation of this service program include: (1) an increase in students' literacy and insight into the importance of food loss and food waste, (2) an increase in awareness and a responsible attitude in managing waste, and (3) an increase in students' knowledge about the impact of food loss and food waste in the long term.
