Abstract
Doğa ve insan ilişkileri ve bu ilişkilerin çevre üzerinde neden olduğu sonuçlar, özellikle son
otuz yılda, dünya gündemini belirler hale gelmiştir. Endüstri 1.0 ile başlayan ve küreselleşme
ile devam eden süreçte, insanoğluna biçilen “tüketici” fonksiyonu, doğal kaynakların kullanımı
üzerindeki baskıları daha da arttırmış, zaten kıt olan bu kaynakların bilinçsizce kullanılması ile
sadece etkinlik ve verimlilik kaybı yaşanmamış, aynı zamanda ortaya çıkan atıkların miktar ve
türlerinin de çoğalmasına neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın konusunu, atık türlerinden biri olan
ve iyi yönetilmesi halinde kent yoksulluğu ve israfı ile mücadelede önemli bir unsur olan, diğer
yandan metan gazı salınımı ile küresel ısınmaya da neden olan ve bu yüzden de mutlaka kontrol
altında tutulması gereken “gıda atığı” oluşturmaktadır. Literatüre yapacağı katkının dışında,
dünyada ve son dönemde Türkiye’de, özellikle büyükşehirlerde faaliyet göstermeye başlayan,
gıda atıklarının neden olduğu çevre kirliliği başta olmak üzere, israf ve yoksullukla mücadelede
de önemli bir mekanizma olarak görülen “yeşil nesil restoranların” anlaşılmasına ve öneminin
ortaya konulmasına ve bir politikaya bağlı olarak ülke genelinde yaygınlaştırılmasına katkı
sağlayacağından bu çalışmanın önemli olacağı düşünülmektedir. BM tarafından 2021 yılında
yayınlanan Gıda İsraf Endeksi Raporu’na göre, beşli güven ölçeğinde, çok düşük seviye
aralığında yer alan Türkiye’nin, yeşil nesil restoran fikri üzerinden çevre kirliliği başta olmak
üzere, israf ile mücadelede elde edeceği kazanımları ortaya koyarak öneriler getirmek ve
böylece konuyu tartışmaya açmak çalışmanın temel amacını oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın
kapsamı, İstanbul’da yer alan yeşil nesil restoranların gıda atığını önlemede gerçekleştirdikleri
faaliyetlerle sınırlandırılmıştır. Nitel araştırma yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada, literatür
taraması yapılmış, ilgili kurum ve kuruluşların analiz ve teknik raporlarından yararlanılmıştır.
Ayrıca, ABD’de bir yeşil nesil restoran olan “Chez Panisse Restoran” yetkilileri ve
Türkiye’deki yeşil nesil restoran hareketinin paydaşları ile yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat tekniği
üzerinden birincil veriler elde edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Toplanan verilerin analiz edilmesini müteakip elde edilen bulgular değerlendirilmiş ve yapılan önerilerle çalışma
sonuçlandırılmıştır.
Human relations with nature and the consequences of these relations on the environment, especially in the last thirty years, have come to determine the world agenda. In the process that started with Industry 1.0 and continued with globalization, the “consumer” function assigned to human beings further increased the pressures on the use of natural resources. The unconscious use of these already scarce resources has not only resulted in loss of efficiency and productivity, but has also led to an raise in the amount and types of wastes. The subject of this study is “food waste”, which is one of the biggest waste types and is an significant element in the fight against urban poverty if it is managed well. On the other hand, it causes global warming with methane gas emissions and therefore must be kept under control. Apart from its contribution to the literature, it is aimed to understand and reveal the importance of “green generation restaurants”, which have started to operate in the world and recently in Türkiye and which are seen as an significant mechanism in the fight against waste and poverty, especially environmental pollution caused by food wastes. It is thought that this study will be important as it will contribute to the dissemination of it throughout the country depending on a policy. According to the Food Waste Index Report published by the UN in 2021, Türkiye, which is in the very low range on the five-point confidence scale, put forward the gains to be gained in the fight against waste, especially environmental pollution, through the idea of green generation restaurants, to make suggestions and thus the fundamental purpose of the study is to open the issue for discussion. The content of the study is limited to the activities carried out by the green generation restaurants in Istanbul to prevent food waste. In the study, in which the qualitative research method was used, a literature review was made and analysis and technical reports of the relevant institutions and organizations were used. In addition, primary data were tried to be obtained through a semi-structured interview technique with the officials of “Chez Panisse Restaurant”, a green generation restaurant in the USA, and the stakeholders of the green generation restaurant movement in Türkiye. Following the analysis of the collected data, the findings were evaluated and the study was concluded with the suggestions made.
