JOIN US IN OUR MISSION TO RECOVER EDIBLE FOOD DESTINED FOR LANDFILLDid you know that if the amount of food in landfill were a country, it would be the third leading 'country' contributing to climate change?
According to the UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), Canadians waste $31 billion of food every year, 47% of which is wasted in the home. We are a Non-Profit Incorporation working to reduce the stigma on Food Waste, and redistribute edible food to those who are willing and able to use it! |

THE SCIENCE OF ITReducing Food Waste by half would prevent as much climate-affecting gases as taking every other car off the road.
|
THE NATURE OF ITIn the natural world, there is no such thing as accidental or misshapen. Food is meant to be eaten. Everyone deserves to eat well, and eat lots.

THE HEALTH OF IT"Greens feed our souls, refresh our minds, and nourish our grateful bodies."
- Terri Guillemets |
THE POLITICS OF IT"Half the world wastes enough food to feed the other half."
- Charles Eisenstein "You waste life when you waste good food." - Katherine Anne Porter |

We are a small group of people who have come together, united by a common passion of recovering edible food from landfill. It has taken a lot of work to pull it all together, but it is happening! This is a movement taking place all over the world right now. Each recovery or rescue program is unique to its community, and the requirements and available assistance within that community.
