Why It Matters

Did you know?

• 46% of food produced in Canada is wasted—that’s $58 billion and 35.5 million tonnes of food annually! 

• Food waste generates 25.7 million metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year—the same as 253,000 flights from Toronto to Vancouver. 

• Best-before dates alone account for 23% of avoidable food waste from processing to purchase. 

• Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways to cut carbon emissions and create a more sustainable future.
