Huize Ni is a third-year PhD candidate at the University of Adelaide, where she also completed her Bachelor of Food and Nutrition Science. Her doctoral research focuses on hospital food waste, examining the different types of waste produced across the hospital foodservice system and the key factors that drive waste generation. Her work also explores differences in food waste between paper-based and electronic meal ordering systems, including how different modes of electronic ordering such as patient-direct ordering and staff-deployed ordering, affect patient food intake. The findings from her research aim to inform targeted strategies for reducing food waste in healthcare environments and provide evidence-based recommendations to improve hospital foodservice systems. Ultimately, her work contributes to the global effort to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12.3, which seeks to halve per capita food waste by 2030.
