The aim of this study is to examine the correlations among community practices, awareness, knowledge, and perceptions of food waste, sustainability, and resource optimization in Kuwait. This research emphasizes the influence of demographic variables on sustainable food practices and underscores the crucial need of well-informed knowledge and encouraging changes in behavior aimed at decreasing food waste. The study employs a cross-sectional design using Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the responses obtained from households in Kuwait. Awareness and knowledge, social activities, and perceptions are fundamental constructs. The findings confirm 6 hypotheses, underscoring the importance of customized educational initiatives to close the divide between awareness and sustainable behaviors. The research findings indicate that increased consciousness is associated with the stronger propensity for adopting sustainable behaviors, even when considering cultural and self-reporting constraints. This study provides significant insights for the reduction of global food waste by means of community involvement and awareness initiatives.
