For the first time there is a legal investigation into food waste. Here, the measures of food sharing, food banks, Dumpster Diving and leftover restaurants are classified in the system of food and waste law and e.g the characteristics of a food business and the legal consequences are examined. In addition, based on a French regulation, a legislative proposal to combat food waste is presented and the national and european legal limits of the proposal are discussed.

Global Food

Food waste is emerging as a global issue and has been recognised in the Sustainable Development Goals with a specific target to halve per capita global food waste at consumer levels and reduce food losses by 2030. Research on food waste has been neglected particularly in the aviation sector. The International Air Transport Association reported that 5.7 million tonnes of cabin waste was generated on airlines, up to 80.5% of which was leftover food and beverages. The exploration of passengers’ food wasting aims to provide insights for tackling the airline food waste problem. To address this issue, this research investigated the in-flight catering experience of 19 passengers from 21 full-service flights. Qualitative research techniques have been applied to analyse passengers’ food-wasting behaviour by collecting participant-produced photographs and completed questionnaires concerning food-related behaviour. This research identified key factors associated with passengers’ food wasting behaviour by adopting Design for Sustainable Behaviour approaches. Four types of factors were found to influence onboard passenger waste, these were normative, habitual, intentional and situational factors. This research indicates that behavioural change interventions need to incorporate the power of social norms to prevent food waste.

Job Prospects

Enabling employability, the next generations’ employment and job prospects is crucial in achieving meaningful lives of equal dignity within the current digital era and beyond. Not only have the responsibilities associated with major drivers become crucial in our lives but also the issue of a transformation to a development that is sustainable is taking increasing precedence in our daily routines. One of the key factors in achieving a meaningful life that is sustainable is education in its capacity to empower the next generations. The role of education with regard to the people’s capability and human needs is multiple and complex. This chapter offers an understanding of the focus on “capabilities” from the humanistic and holistic perspective in education. The inspiration behind such a vision is based on the concept of a just and equitable future for the next generations on a stable and resilient planet and is particularly pertinent in view of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, sustainable employability today as well as in the future depends as much on employment prospects as on “capabilities.” Although “capabilities” in concrete terms are not yet an integral part of education for sustainable employability, they should not only enable the next generations to do their job, seize job opportunities, and cope with changes but should also enhance the said future. Finally, this chapter looks forward at further areas of research that will spur researchers to examine the topic in more detail in future empirical work.

Tourism development has economic benefits, but there also issues related to complex digital marketing and environmental impacts. Nowadays, customers want fast, accurate and friendly responses from the tourism agencies. Hence, the industry must be able to cope with the demands from the clients by using the latest digital technology. Moreover, economic and environmental sustainability are also essential for the long-term tourism resource management. Therefore, this paper explores sustainable tourism in relation to consumer preferences, which ultimately determines economic implications in terms of net value, contributed capital, and employment. Based on the surveys conducted on 75 travel agencies in Europe, it was found that the key factors to destination preferences are (in descending order): customers’ income (67.7%), the exchange rate (63.9%), digital marketing factors (53.4%), respect for the environment (38.6%), and sports activities (33.3%).
