Consumer Seafood Waste and the Potential of a ‘Direct-from-Frozen’ Approach to Prevention

Few food waste interventions focus on drivers distinct to particular food groups, such as seafood. Given suggestive evidence that seafood may be wasted at exceptionally high rates, and given its environmental, economic and nutritional value, this research provides insights into seafood-specific cons...
