Food waste is a global issue that is currently gaining attention in light of food security problems and related environmental issues. Studies related to household food waste have looked at consumer behavior in attempting to explain household food waste behaviors. However, standing for material infrastructure, food accessibility has been suspected to indirectly impact household food waste behaviors. This study therefore looks at perceived food accessibility, measured in terms of perceived time and perceived effort, and its impact on household food waste. A conceptual model is formed through a review of the literature and data obtained from a survey conducted at two locations in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. The collected data are then analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Three significant paths are found in the model connecting food waste with effort levels, environmental concern, and price importance.
