Food Waste and Loss Campaign
The Problem:
58%
Of all food produced in Canada is wasted each year
5 months
Every Canadian could be fed for 5 months with the food wasted annually
56.5 M Tonnes
of CO2 is generated by food waste
in Canada, with the majority of it ending up in landfills
#ThinkBeforeYouToss
It is estimated that over half of all food produced in Canada is lost or wasted each year. This loss increases food prices, contributes significantly to climate change, and reduces the resiliency and future capacity of our food system.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 aims to cut global food waste in half. To achieve this, Champions 12.3 have created the format of target, measure, act.
