Štěpánková, Tereza
ŠTĚPÁNKOVÁ, T. Instagram as a communication tool for prevention of food waste in Generation Z. Diploma thesis. Brno: Mendel University in Brno, 2023. At present, food waste is considered to be a serious problem worldwide, as thousands of tonnes of food are wasted every year. Food waste occurs at all stages of the food chain, but households account for the largest share. A change in consumer behaviour is therefore needed to minimise this waste. This thesis therefore aims to propose an appropriate communication campaign on the popular Instagram network aimed at preventing food waste and promoting sustainable behaviour, based on the identification of key factors influencing food waste rates among final consumers of the Z generation. This communication strategy is based primarily on information provided by quantitative and qualitative research and should make a positive contribution to changing food consumption behaviour.

Katrňáková, Kateřina

"You need to plan it." Practices of reducing food waste in households
Pešková, Tereza ; Čada, Karel (advisor) ; Tuček, Milan (referee)
"You need to plan it." Practices of reducing food waste in households Anotation This diploma thesis focuses on a problem of consumers' food waste. The main goal is to find out how does the consumer behaviour of the target group look like and how does this behaviour influence the amount of food which is thrown into the trash. By using the theory of practice, therefore exploring specific practices which people use for food consumption, it was possible to tackle the problem. Moreover, this approach enabled to emphasize not only the practices themselves but also the meaning which is connected to them. Results of the qualitative research show that one of the biggest influence on the quantity of discarded food has the shopping behaviour like careful planning of food purchases with respect to real consumption. Different practices were found also in other situations, for instance, when older food accumulates at home and it is necessary to process them to prevent them from being thrown away. These strategies are influenced by different aspects like environment, availability or respondent's experience. In the text are, furthermore, introduced also respondents' motivations and barriers which affect their tendencies to reduce consumption and thus minimalize food waste.

Furthermore, it examines the motivations of chains for cooperation and the appraisal of mutual cooperation both on their part as well as the part of the food bank, a representantive of the non-profit sector. The thesis can serve as an inspiration for further research on the topic of food banks or cross-sectoral cooperation that would involve perspectives of entities from both cooperating sectors as this represents a fact that is often overlooked in research. Keywords: Cross-sectoral cooperation, corporate social responsibility, food bank, food wasting, non-profit organization.
