Summary: This ethnographic digital diary research provides an understanding of the role and reality of food consumption in Irish households - identifying behavioural patterns of food waste and understanding the root causes for food waste in Irish households. 28 participants representing a cross section of Irish society took part in this weeklong digital diary ethnography project during November 2023. The outputs of this research provide a deeper understanding of what people actually do rather than what they say they do in terms of food waste behaviours at home, as well as direction on the development of future interventions.
