Abstract

U današnje vrijeme sve više se govori o ekološkim problemima od kojih je i veliki problem otpad koji nastaje prekomjernim bacanjem značajnih količina hrane. Brojni su izvori otpada od hrane, a jedan od izvora su i školske kantine. Stoga je cilj ovog istraživanja dati prikaz sustava prehrane u osnovnim školama te utvrditi ponašanje djece prema hrani u školskim kantinama i njihove stavove i svjesnost o problemima koje uzrokuje otpad od hrane. Provedeno je anketno istraživanje u tri osnovne škole, na uzorku od 321 učenika, petih, šestih, sedmih i osmih razreda. Također, provedeni su intervjui s ravnateljicama te djelatnicima školskih kuhinja. Najveći udio ispitanika se hrani u školskoj kantini te su relativno zadovoljni školskom prehranom. Velika većina učenika je upoznata s problemima otpada od hrane i imaju pozitivne stavove prema okolišu. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da škole većim dijelom prate preporučeni jelovnik za učenike u osnovnim školama uz poneka odstupanja, što ovisi o cijeni obroka te mogućnostima škole. Otpadom od hrane u školama se ne upravlja sustavno, ali su i ravnateljice i djelatnici školskih kuhinja svjesni problema otpada od hrane te su ponudili rješenja za smanjenje istih u obliku promicanja zdravog života, educiranja učenika o zdravoj prehrani i o negativnim utjecajima otpada od hrane na okoliš.

Abstract (english)

Nowadays, there is more and more talk about environmental problems, one of them is waste caused by excessive dumping of significant amounts of food. There are numerous sources of food waste, and one of sources is school canteens. Therefore, the aim of this research is to give an overview of the nutrition system in primary schools and to determine children's behavior towards food in school canteens and their attitudes and awareness of the problems caused by food waste. A survey was conducted in three primary schools, on a sample of 321 students, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade. Also, interviews were conducted with principals and school kitchen staff. The largest share of respondents eats in the school canteen and are relatively satisfied with the school diet. Most students are familiar with the problems of food waste and have positive attitudes towards the environment. The results of the research showed that schools largely follow the recommended menu for students in primary schools with some deviations, which depends on the price of meals and the possibilities of the school. Food waste in schools is not managed systematically, but school principals are aware of the problem of food waste and have offered solutions to reduce it in the form of promoting healthy living, educating students about healthy eating and the negative effects of food waste on the environment.
