Abstrakt:
The article deals with consumer behavior in terms of food and its wastage. The main aim is to
identify consumer behavior in relation to food consumption and food waste in the households in
the Czech Republic as an effect of healthy competitive environment. Food consumption and its
wastage is analyzed in terms of quantity and food expenditure in general as well as with the use
of primary data from the Household Budget Survey. According to a household diary survey, the
highest wastage is of cereal and dairy products, with the lowest being meat.
The consumption and quantity of wasted food are significant in relation to price. The data obtained
during daily monitoring of wasted food in September 2018 are used to test the impact
of the household identification characteristics on the quantity of wasted food along with the
types. A logit regression is used to estimate the anticipated quantity of wasted food according
to individual kinds of food and in relation to household identification characteristics. The age,
education and economic activity of consumers have a significant effect on the quantity of wasted
food. In addition, the results show that the people who waste the most are over 65 years of age,
with the lowest wastage connected with university graduates.
