Abstract
Food waste continues to challenge the Dutch gastronomy sector, driven by inefficiencies, consumer behaviour, and logistical hurdles. This research adopts a systemic approach, using qualitative insights and a causal loop diagram (CLD) to analyse the interconnected dynamics of food waste. By exploring the potential of digital innovations and other collaborative approaches, it offers practical solutions rooted in circular economy principles. The study addresses key research gaps and delivers actionable recommendations for restaurant owners, policymakers and sustainability advocates, aiming to promote resource-efficient practices and supporting a more sustainable gastronomy sector in the Netherlands.
