SubscribeFrom Waste to Wellness: Don’t Miss the CEC and Partners Food Waste Prevention Week Webinar!
March 27, 2025
Did you know that each year, around 170 million tonnes of food produced for human consumption are wasted or lost in Canada, Mexico and the United States? The disposal of food waste in landfills produces methane, a powerful greenhouse gas many times more potent than carbon dioxide. Food loss and waste also have environmental and socio-economic impacts, including economic and biodiversity loss, as well as public health issues. Preventing food from becoming waste in the first place is one of the most impactful actions we can all take to reduce the environmental harm associated with food loss and waste!
