Overview:

This paper uses ‘waste regime theory’ as a conceptual framework to examine the impact of social and discursive factors on food loss and waste (FLW) in the kiwifruit industry in Aotearoa New Zealand. The findings reveal two distinct discourses on FLW: one attributes it to supply chain dynamics, suggesting possibilities for technical interventions, while the other sees it as an inherent structural issue resistant to strategic intervention.
