The study compared online and in-store grocery shopping behaviors and their impact on household food waste. The researchers used a large dataset and a statistical model to analyze the relationship between shopping methods and food waste. They found that online grocery shopping is linked to higher levels of household food waste. People who shop more frequently and spend more on groceries tend to waste more food at home. Retailers could benefit from helping consumers reduce food waste.
