 Bireylerin beslenme ihtiyaçlarını karşılama süreçlerinde ortaya çıkan hususlardan biri olan gıda israfı kavramı, kaynakları ve geleceği tehdit eden önemli sorunlardan biridir. Hayatın devamlılığı için elzem olan gıda kaynakları, enerji kaynaklarına göre daha önemli bir konuma sahiptir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında gıda israfı ve gıda atıkları, açlık, yetersiz beslenme sonucu ortaya çıkan küresel problemler, günümüz ve geleceğin en önemli sorunlarından birini teşkil etmektedir. Günümüz dünyasında ortaya çıkan sürdürülebilirlik sorunlarının birçoğu insan davranışlarından kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda önemli sürdürülebilirlik sorunlarından birisi de gıda kayıpları ve israfları sonucunda ortaya çıkan gıda güvencesidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; yükseköğretim öğrencilerinin günümüz dünyasının en büyük sorunlarından biri olan gıda israfı konusundaki bilgi, görüş ve davranışlarını tespit etmek, aradaki benzerlik ve farklılıkları ortaya koymak, gıda israfı konusuna dikkat çekmek ve farkındalık oluşturmaktır. 12.04.2023 ile 18.08.2023 tarihleri arasında Eskişehirde bulunan yükseköğretim kurumlarında ön lisans, lisans ve lisansüstü seviyesinde öğrenim gören öğrenciler arasından basit tesadüfî örneklem yöntemiyle seçilen 421 kişiden elde edilen bulgular sonucunda gıda israfına ilişkin davranışların ölçek puanı 24,42 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre katılımcılar yüksek düzeyde gıda israfını önlemeye yönelik davranışlar göstermektedir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre gıda israfına ilişkin davranışlar ile cinsiyet, yaş ve eğitim düzeyi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamaktadır p0,05. Bununla birlikte gıda israfına ilişkin davranışlar, gastronomi veya aşçılık eğitimi alma durumuna göre anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir p0,05, gastronomi veya aşçılık eğitim alan öğrencilerin gıda israfını önlemeye ilişkin davranış puanlarının eğitim almayanlara göre daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
