Two groups are releasing a report on food waste.
And they are calling it a crisis.
Second Harvest and Value Chain Management joined together to put the report together.
Some of the points that will be highlighted include:
- 58 per cent of all food produced - 35.5 million metric tonnes - is lost or wasted
- Only 42 per cent of all food produced in Canada ever makes it to market
- 11.2 million metric tonnes of lost food could be rescued
Second Harvest is Canada’s largest food rescue organization and expert in perishable food recovery.
Value Chain Management International (VCMI) has authored/co-authored several publications on food loss and waste.
