Abstrakt: This lecture argues that the startling national statistics about the amount of food that households waste should be understood as the fallout from the organisation and accomplishment of everyday life. Engaging theories of practice and drawing on ethnographic household fieldwork in the UK enables exploration of the relations, routines and rhythms of home life, and the diverse moralities, values, knowledges and practical exigencies, that converge together in moments in which matter which could be food crosses a culturally contingent and situationally defined line to become waste. The challenge that follows is how to move from that complexity to identify interventions to reduce food waste.
