Goal 12 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) seeks to "ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns" through a strategy to promote, among other factors, the rational and efficient use of resources and energy, seeking to impact on the improvement of conditions that determine the quality of life of people and the minimization of the environmental, social and economic impacts of human activities. Being food a key factor in generating strategies that favor the fulfillment of this objective given its impact on agricultural, livestock and industrial production; With the purpose of identifying alternatives for reducing these impacts and generating sustainable practices, this work seeks to analyze the patterns of food consumption in the phases of acquisition, use and disposal of waste in Industrial Engineering students of the Universidad del Atlántico (Barranquilla - Colombia). This research was done using the cube model, developed by the technical institute of Berlin, focused on the identification and promotion of behaviors aimed at sustainable consumption in addition to the recognition of the impact they have on the environment and society in general. The research allowed the identification of three consumption profiles, all of them influenced mainly by socio-economic conditions and derived from the context and reality of the infrastructure and the social and cultural environment of the students.
