Abstract：
Reducing food loss is a key target for Sustainable Development Goal 12-responsible consumption and production. This study aimed to explore Australian sheep producers\' knowledge of and attitude towards post-harvest feedback and how these influence pre-consumer losses in the Australian sheep meat value chain. A mixed-methods approach was taken, using a structured survey and focus group discussions. Descriptive analysis was performed on the completed structured surveys and framework analysis was performed on the focus group discussion transcripts. The structured survey results showed that sale method was the main factor influencing the quality of feedback received on carcases. No respondents reported receiving feedback on edible offal. Most producers indicated that they wanted more detailed feedback on carcases and all respondents wanted more detailed feedback on edible offal. Four themes emerged from the focus group discussions: situation, knowledge, and attitudes of producers to the feedback system; factors, enablers, and barriers in the feedback system; equity in the feedback system; and sustainability of the value chain. In addition, several short-to-medium- and long-term strategies were identified by the authors to reduce pre-consumer losses in the Australian sheep meat value chain, based on the results of this study.
摘要：
减少粮食损失是可持续发展目标12-负责任的消费和生产的关键目标。本研究旨在探讨澳大利亚绵羊生产者对收获后反馈的知识和态度，以及这些反馈如何影响澳大利亚绵羊肉价值链中消费者的前损失。采取了混合方法，使用结构化调查和焦点小组讨论。对已完成的结构化调查进行了描述性分析，对焦点小组讨论笔录进行了框架分析。结构化调查结果表明，销售方式是影响收复质量的主要因素。没有受访者报告收到有关食用内脏的反馈。大多数生产者表示，他们希望对尸体有更详细的反馈，所有受访者都希望对食用内脏有更详细的反馈。焦点小组讨论产生了四个主题:形势,知识,以及生产者对反馈系统的态度；因素，启用者，和反馈系统中的障碍；反馈系统中的公平性；以及价值链的可持续性。此外,作者确定了几种短期到中期和长期策略，以减少澳大利亚绵羊肉价值链中的消费前损失，基于这项研究的结果。
