520 |a Every year in the EU alone, almost 90 million tonnes of food is lost. The sectors contributing the most to this amount are households, accounting for 53% of total food waste. Bearing in mind the fact those two-thirds of this amount refers to the occurrence of waste which is theoretically avoidable, the greatest attention should be paid to the generation of food waste in households. In Croatia, there is no data on the quantities of food waste produced, but only estimates on the amount of such waste. The aim of this research paper was to determine the type and amount of household food waste and the differences in production of waste relative to the socio-demographic characteristics of household members. The research was carried out by 115 Croatian households, who self-reported the amount of food waste during seven days. According to the results, on average, 2.57 portions of food waste were reported as the amount of discarded food per household member per day, equivalent to 0.21 kg of food waste mass. In general, the typical Croatian household generates 75 kg of food waste per person on average. The age of respondents positively affected the prevention of waste, while the income level and the number of children under the age of 18 in the household had an adverse impact
