Food loss and waste represent a global problem in the ethical, social, environmental, and economic contexts. The aim of this article is to identify leading concepts in studies on food loss and waste in management research by network analysis of the co-occurrence of keywords, via mapping of knowledge domains, a method used in bibliometrics. We analyzed 2202 records from the Scopus database on food waste management with the aid of the VOSviewer software tool. In particular, keyword co-occurrence analysis was adopted to visually explore knowledge bases, topic distribution, and research fronts in the field of food waste management research. Ten representative areas were found concentrated in main keywords, namely, food waste, waste management, food, anaerobic digestion, waste disposal, recycling, waste treatment, municipal solid waste, solid waste, and refuse disposal.
食物损失和浪费在伦理、社会、环境和经济方面代表了一个全球性问题。本文的目的是通过关键词共现的网络分析，即文献计量学中使用的知识领域映射方法，确定管理研究中关于食物损失和浪费的主要概念。我们借助 VOSviewer 软件工具，对来自 Scopus 数据库的 2202 条关于食物浪费管理的记录进行了分析。特别是，我们采用关键词共现分析来直观地探索食物浪费管理研究领域的知识库、主题分布和研究前沿。我们发现，10 个代表性领域集中在主要关键词上，即食物浪费、废物管理、食物、厌氧消化、废物处置、回收、废物处理、城市固体废物、固体废物和垃圾处理。
