Our Work on Reducing Food Loss and Waste

Across North America, governments and businesses are increasingly realizing the enormous impact of food loss and waste. Uneaten food represents social, environmental and economic costs, but also a large opportunity if harnessed properly. Taking action to prevent food loss and waste offers a rare “triple win”, that is, economic gains, reduction of environmental impacts and improved quality of life for those who currently lack sufficient food. Explore our ample research, tools and training to support North American efforts to reduce food loss and waste.
