Introduction
 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Zero Food Waste is the topic of this research which is in line with the
Sustainable Development Goals because it focuses on how to sustain
the environment at the IIUM campus.

According to studies, young individuals aged 18 to 34 waste more food

than other age groups. Within this age range, students are a critical
audience, and in order to help them reduce food waste, we need to learn
more about what foods they waste and why.
 RESEARCH PROBLEM

especially in a large event. While some students are experiencing financial
difficulties and they are unable to purchase food.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
● To evaluate food-wasting issues in the IIUM community especially
among students
● To identify the issues and follow up with the relevant solutions.
 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
● Reducing food waste can save more money
● Reducing food waste can reduce pollution
● The process of waste management saves energy and resources.

OPERATIONAL TERMS
Zero Food Waste project focused on evaluating students' behavior and belief
towards food waste management. Besides, measuring social structures in
IIUM’s community to show the effectiveness of this project.
