Food waste : home consumption, material culture and everyday life /

Evans, David.

Food waste : home consumption, material culture and everyday life / David Evans. - London : Bloomsbury, 2014. - 160 p. ; 24 cm.

This book offers a lively, accessible, but academically-grounded account of household waste as a consequence of home consumption and kitchen practice. Using ethnographic case studies to explore larger global issues and contexts, 'Food Waste' examines the reasons why food ends up in the bin and the role of domestic technologies in the formation of waste habits, demonstrating the ways in which concerns about waste are negotiated in relation to broader anxieties about household provisioning.
