dc.descriptionThis case study examines food waste at the consumer level in Bogota, Colombia, as part of a broader project exploring the application of green and digital technologies to address this issue. The report identifies that while significant food loss occurs annually across the country, local data for the capital city remains limited. Research involving household surveys and in-depth interviews reveals that perceived abundance, cooking habits, and lack of awareness contribute to domestic waste. Although authorities have established policies and collaborative initiatives to mitigate these losses, entrepreneurs encounter technical and investment barriers. The document outlines the current landscape of food waste management, highlighting existing strategies, institutional partnerships, and the challenges faced in measuring progress and fostering sustainable household consumption behaviours.en
