This week, our Presence Design project deals with wasting food issue. In the first day, we had to identify the context, and choose a detailed situation where wasting food happens. One issue particularly attracted our attention: many people throw a lot of fresh food out while filling their fridge with new fresh food. We decided to focus on two cases: the student case since we are all students and can easily talk about our experience, and the bachelor one which seems interesting for various reasons.
Let me introduce to you the time scale in our study. Buying fresh food is something that happens just right now whereas consuming fresh food or even wasting it is more a long-term process over one or even two weeks.
