dc.description.abstractINTRODUCTION: FOOD WASTE IN SCHOOL CANTEENS IS A PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS THE USE OF NATURAL, HUMAN AND ECONOMIC RESOURCES. OBJECTIVE: IDENTIFY THE OPINIONS AND PERCEPTIONS OF FOOD HANDLERS ABOUT FOOD WASTE FACTORS AND POSSIBLE STRATEGIES TO REDUCE THEM IN SCHOOL CANTEENS OF THE SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMME OF THE JUNTA NACIONAL DE AUXILIO ESCOLAR Y BECAS IN CHILE. METHODS: QUALITATIVE DESIGN USING A FOCUS GROUP TECHNIQUE WITH 33 PARTICIPANTS. A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH PROTOCOL THAT INCLUDED INFORMED CONSENT, SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISATION, OBSERVATION GUIDELINES, AND A SCRIPT WITH THE DIMENSIONS EXPLORED WAS APPLIED. EACH GROUP HAD AN EXPERT MODERATOR AND AN OBSERVER. THE AUDIO OF EACH SESSION WAS RECORDED, TRANSCRIBED, AND ANALYSED USING ATLAS. TI, VERSION 8. RESULTS: ACCORDING TO THE HANDLERS, THE FOODS LEAST CONSUMED BY THE STUDENTS ARE LEGUMES, FRESH VEGETABLES, SEAFOOD, AND SOME SAUCES. THEY ESTIMATE THAT FOOD WASTE RANGES FROM 25 TO 100 KG PER DAY. WOMEN IDENTIFY CRITICAL FACTORS IN THE REJECTION OF FOOD BY SCHOOLCHILDREN: AESTHETICS, SMELL, AND TASTE OF THE DISH; REPETITIVENESS OF THE MENU; AND CULTURAL ASPECTS. AS STRATEGIES TO REDUCE WASTE, THEY PROPOSE VARYING THE MENU, INCORPORATING FOODS FAMILIAR TO SCHOOLCHILDREN, EDUCATING PARENTS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF OFFERING HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD AND PREPARATIONS, AND ENCOURAGING THE PARTICIPATION OF THE ENTIRE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY IN THE FOOD PROCESS. CONCLUSIONS: THE STUDY REVEALED THAT FOOD WASTE IN SCHOOL CANTEENS IS A COMPLEX PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES A MULTIDIMENSIONAL INTERVENTION THAT INVOLVES ALL ACTORS IN THE SCHOOL FOOD SYSTEM.
