[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1906, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.marketwatch.com/story/one-way-to-reduce-food-waste-and-help-the-climate-build-more-grocery-stores-2020-02-10'][B] One way to reduce food waste and help the climate: build more grocery stores - Marketwatch[/B][/URL] [B] ‘It’s a big win for the environment, and a big win for consumers’[/B] Boosting the number of grocery stores in a city could help cut down on food waste and mitigate the harmful effects of climate change, a new study suggests — all while reducing households’ grocery expenses. The study, published in the journal Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, developed a model using U.S. Census Bureau, grocery industry and academic study data. Author Elena Belavina, an associate professor at Cornell University’s S.C. Johnson College of Business, found that increasing grocery-store density reduces consumer waste by improving grocery access. When grocery stores are more abundant, they’re closer to you and you end up visiting the store more frequently, Belavina said in a video explaining her research — “and as a result, you buy less.” “Very small increases in store density can have a very high impact,” she said.
