Our Goals
According to a 2019 report by Second Harvest entitled “The Avoidable Crisis of Food Waste” the annual
cost of avoidable food loss and wasted in Canada is $1,766 per household.
And the waste comes with environmental impacts. Each year, food waste in Canada creates some 56.6
million tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions, according to the report. Food in landfills also
creates methane gas, which is “25 times more damaging to the environment than carbon dioxide,” the
report says.
We want to help change all that.
