I wanted to do some specific user research in relation to food waste. To do this, I began by creating a questionnaire so that I could gather different responses from different demographics - such as a variety of ages and living conditions.

Planning the Questionnaire

Demographic Questions

• age, gender, job
• How many people do you live with?

Food Waste Questions

• Do you have a food bin, if so, do you use it?
• If not, how do you discard food waste at home?
• How often do you go food shopping?
• Do you meal prep or plan what you are going to make during the week?
• What food item gets wasted most in your house?
• Do you do other things to manage food waste?

What do you think are the main reasons for food waste in your house?

Potential Reasons:

• We don’t waste any food
• Some household members don't finish their food
• We like to eat the freshest food possible
