The current study provides preliminary information regarding how the objectives and associated activities of nature club in Higher education institutions act as a mediating role between FWM and ES. Through a detailed qualitative content analysis, we uncover the need of Nature clubs in college campus, so that an awareness gets cultivated among the various categories, that food waste should be reduced and the need for proper waste management should be on the right track, so that it helps to generate a sustainable environment in near future.
