Food waste, which occurs at all stages of the food chain, causes many negative environmental, social and economic problems. Household food waste, which is one of the last stages in this chain, is a significant contributor. This study aims to identify the motivations and barriers to reducing household food waste. For this purpose, the interview method, one of the qualitative research techniques, was used and interviews (n=10) were conducted using a semi-structured form. The interviews took place between 17.08.2024-22.08.2024 and each interview lasted approximately 25 minutes. Transcripts of notes taken during the interviews were analysed using qualitative research methods to identify emerging themes. As a result of the data obtained, thematic analysis was carried out and 3 different themes were identified. These themes are concerns about waste, shirking responsibility and alternative solutions. Looking at the motivations for household food waste, it can be seen that the motivations are the desire not to sin, to save money, to share with animals and to evaluate new products; the barriers are the desire to eat fresh products, to buy surplus products, some products cannot be transformed, not every product is suitable for sharing with animals.
