Food loss and food waste in a central province of Thailand: Dataset from 15 subdistricts in Saraburi Province

Saraburi, a central province of Thailand, is considered a good agricultural area due to its location on the Pasak River's bank. A survey on household food waste and agricultural loss was conducted in 15 subdistricts from 7 districts in Saraburi from July 1st -26th, 2022. An online questionnaire was used to collect the data. 4006 data sets were collected. The size, occupation, and amount of food waste of 4006 households are reported as raw data. 741 households with farming as their primary occupation were filtered from this group. The farm area and the quantity of agricultural losses are displayed as raw data. Included are analyzed data on food waste in relation to family size and occupation. The analyzed data shows the farm area that creates agricultural losses for each farm type. The data can be used for strategic food waste reduction, agricultural loss reduction, and utilization planning.

Data, raw and processed, are presented as follows:

泰国沙拉武里府（Saraburi）作为泰国中部省份，坐落于帕萨克河（Pasak River）沿岸，被视作优质农业产区。2022年7月1日至26日，研究团队于该省7个县的15个乡级行政区开展家庭食物浪费与农业损失调研，采用线上问卷的方式采集数据，最终收集到4006组有效数据。原始数据涵盖4006户家庭的家庭规模、职业构成与食物垃圾产生量。研究团队从全部样本中筛选出741户以农业为核心职业的家庭，其农业种植面积与农业损失量同样作为原始数据公开。此外，本数据集还包含针对家庭规模与职业关联的食物浪费分析数据，以及不同农场类型对应的产生农业损失的种植面积数据。本数据集可用于制定食物浪费与农业损失削减策略，以及相关资源优化利用规划。
