  Food waste is one of the most serious global problems of the 21st century, affecting the environment, the economy, and society alike. Nearly one-third of the food produced worldwide ends up in the trash every year, while hundreds of millions of people suffer from malnutrition or starvation. In developed countries, waste is mainly linked to consumer habits, while in developing regions it is linked to infrastructure deficiencies. This phenomenon not only poses moral and economic challenges, but also has serious environmental impacts. In Hungary, hundreds of thousands of tons of food end up in the trash every year, much of which could be prevented through conscious purchasing, proper storage, and rethinking food consumption. Mitigating the problem requires a complex change in mindset on the part of both consumers and food chain operators, while education and technological innovation play a key role in the solution.

  The increasing awareness of the impact of human activities on the environment has led to a growing interest in sustainable consumption behavior. Sustainable consumption behavior refers to the choices and actions of individuals, households, or organizations that prioritize the long-term well-being of both the environment and society while meeting their needs and desires. It involves making responsible and ethical decisions about what to consume, how much to consume, and how to consume, with the aim of minimizing negative impacts on the planet and future generations. This research aims to identify the importance of training and development programs in HRM in promoting sustainable consumption behavior. The research problem has been formulated with several questions, most notably: Do organizational training and development programs impact sustainable consumption behavior? The methodology of this study is a Systematic Literature Review of the importance of training and development programs in promoting sustainable consumption behavior. This research found that HRM can implement training and development programs focusing on sustainability to encourage sustainable behavior among employees. Such programs can include educating employees on sustainable consumption practices, promoting renewable energy sources, reducing waste, adopting a life cycle perspective, and accounting for equity dimensions.
