With the rapid development of economy and the gradual acceleration of urbanization, the phenomenon of food waste has become increasingly common, and the overall scale is very shocking. Under the new situation, the issue of food security has received high attention from the government and society. By reducing consumers' food consumption, it has become the second set of solutions to ensure food security. Moreover, food waste leads to the wastage of a significant amount of food resources in both the food itself and various links in the supply chain, resulting in economic losses and the emission of some greenhouse gases. In the context of the new era, universities are not only temples for knowledge dissemination, but also important places for cultivating students' comprehensive qualities. Faced with the increasingly serious problem of food waste, universities have the responsibility and ability to play an active role in curbing students' food waste behavior. Based on this, this article takes college students as the research object and explores the strategies for universities to stop students' food waste behavior in the new era, hoping to provide corresponding references for universities.
