Food Waste Composting Behaviors of Community Residents Promote Subjective Well-Being

Although well-being is a fundamental human goal, few studies have clarified the underlying mechanisms by which food waste composting behaviors affect well-being. To fill this gap, we investigated 410 community residents to explore the relationship between food waste composting behaviors and well-being. It turned out that community residents who engaged in food waste composting behaviors had a higher subjective well-being than those who did not. Nature connectedness mediated the effect of food waste composting behaviors on well-being. These result findings not only provide compelling evidence for how food waste composting behaviors can promote well-being but also generate important implications for policy-makers.
