The aim of this paper is to extract and describe recent social initiatives in food consumption and distribution in Poland and indicate their characteristics related to sustainable consumption, sharing economy and collaborative consumption and to indicate the processes, mechanisms and future development options. Food is among areas that seem to adapt to those ideas more easily which means that individual consumers seem to see value in behaving in a more responsible way. In Poland, social awareness is rather limited and responsible behavior happens on a minor scale for the moment, but more international research shows the great potential of sharing economy. Food is being wasted therefore it constitutes a good ground for changing consumption habits. The paper presents four chosen social initiatives in Poland that refer to a sustainable consumption philosophy and collaborative consumption. Those mini case studies are backed by a thorough analysis of relevant literature, theme contents on websites, and results of secondary research studies dedicated to the issues discussed in the paper. Due to the qualitative character of the study, it shall be followed by more quantitative research to allow for more general insights and conclusions.

可持续消费和共享经济中粮食消费和分配的社会举措

本文的目的是要提取和描述波兰最近在粮食消费和分配方面的社会举措，并指出其与可持续消费，共享经济和合作性消费有关的特征，并指出其过程，机制和未来的发展选择。食品是似乎更容易适应这些观念的领域，这意味着个人消费者似乎以更负责任的方式看到了价值。在波兰，社会意识相当有限，目前负责任的行为规模较小，但更多的国际研究表明共享经济的巨大潜力。食物被浪费了，因此它为改变消费习惯奠定了良好的基础。本文介绍了在波兰选择的四种社会倡议，它们涉及可持续消费理念和协作消费。这些小型案例研究得到有关文献，网站主题内容以及针对本文所讨论问题的二次研究结果的透彻分析的支持。由于研究的定性特征，因此应进行更定量的研究，以便获得更一般的见解和结论。
