description Studies related to Food Loss and Waste (FLW) in gastronomic enterprises are important and necessary to analyze the environmental, social and economic performance of this sector. In this sense, a market niche has emerged: Food and Nutrition Units (FNUs), which offer more sustainable services. However, there are no regulations or even specific management tools that allow measuring sustainability of an FNU in FLW control. From the Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) perspective, this paper presents a proposal for a tool to manage and compare the performance of commercial Food and Nutrition Units regarding Food Loss and Waste control throughout the production process. LCIA is a qualitative stage of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) that allows evaluating the potential environmental impact of an activity, process, product or service. Based on factors identified in the literature that are related to FLW, a survey was conducted with 14 ad hoc consultants holding degrees in Nutrition, specialized knowledge on the topic addressed and/or practical experience in FNUs. The participants were asked to rate the factors on a scale from 1 to 10 according to their detection and resolution ease and to their severity. As a result, a spreadsheet was generated with 64 factors to be monitored in FNUs and which provides numerical results that vary according to the enterprises' efficiency in FLW control. It is a versatile instrument that allows adaptations according to the type of food service offered and which can render the comparison between different FNUs and their processes less subjective.

Neste sentido, um nicho de mercado tem despontado: o de Unidades de Alimentação e Nutrição (UANs) que oferecem serviços mais sustentáveis. No entanto, não existem normativas ou mesmo ferramentas de gestão específicas que permitam mensurar o quão sustentável é uma UAN no controle de PDA. Partindo da perspectiva de avaliação do impacto de ciclo de vida (AICV), este trabalho apresenta uma proposta de ferramenta de gestão e de comparação do desempenho de Unidades de Alimentação e Nutrição comerciais quanto ao controle de perda e desperdício de alimentos ao longo do processo produtivo. A AICV é uma etapa qualitativa da avaliação de ciclo de vida (ACV), a qual permite avaliar os impactos ambientais potenciais de uma atividade, processo, produto ou serviço. Com base em fatores identificados na literatura que possuem relação com PDA, foi realizada uma pesquisa com 14 consultores ad hoc com formação em Nutrição, com conhecimento especializado no tema tratado e/ou vivência prática em UANs. Numa escala de 1 a 10, os participantes foram solicitados a realizar a ponderação dos fatores quanto a sua facilidade de detecção e solução e sua gravidade. Como resultado, foi gerada uma planilha com 64 fatores a serem monitorados em UANs que fornece resultados numéricos que variam conforme a eficiência dos empreendimentos no controle da PDA. Trata-se de um instrumento versátil que permite adaptações de acordo com o tipo de serviço de alimentação oferecido, e que pode tornar menos subjetiva a comparação entre diferentes UANs e seus processos.UFPR2023-12-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa interdisciplinarapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufpr.br/made/article/view/8559010.5380/dma.v62i0.85590Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente; Vol. 62 (2023): Psychoanalysis, philosophy and political ecology - Water, Sanitation and SDGs in Brazil: challenges, contradictions and governanceDesenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente; v. 62 (2023): Psicoanálisis, filosofía y ecología política - Água, Saneamento e ODS no Brasil: desafios, contradições e governança 2176-91091518-952X10.5380/dma.v62i0reponame:Revista Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)instacron:UFPRporenghttps://revistas.ufpr.br/made/article/view/85590/50952https://revistas.ufpr.br/made/article/view/85590/50953Copyright (c) 2023 Marcelo Zaro, Rosane Maria Lanzer, Suzana Maria De Conto, Maria Emilia Camargoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessZaro, MarceloLanzer, Rosane MariaDe Conto, Suzana MariaCamargo, Maria Emilia2025-03-24T14:11:09Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/85590Revistahttps://revistas.ufpr.br/made/indexPUBhttps://revistas.ufpr.br/made/oairevistamade@gmail.com2176-91091518-952Xopendoar:2025-03-24T14:11:09Revista Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente (Online) - Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)false
