dc.descriptionFood waste is becoming a major global issue, threatening sustainable food systems and generating negative externalities in environmental terms. To highlight the associated cost to society from an economic perspective, studies estimate the amount and monetary value of the wasted food by households and along the supply chain. In this paper, we adopt a different point of view by assessing the effects of food waste reduction on national economies in terms of total output, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment. We use linear multiplier models based on social accounting matrices with a highly disaggregated agricultural account for the year 2007. The proposed methodology is applied to a sample of European countries with different economic structure, i.e., Spain, Germany and Poland. The results show that the most significant impacts are due to a reduction in the avoidable portion of the wasted food by households across the countries. However, the size of these impacts depends on the economic structure of the country in which reduction could be implemented, highlighting the need to tailor measures intended to reduce food waste. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
