We are pleased that the new @AAFC_Canada $1B #FoodLinkFund includes food waste reduction & food rescue in its assessment criteria—priorities we advocated for during program development. This important investment will help build a more sustainable, resilient 🇨🇦 food supply chain.
Minister MacDonald and Minister Robertson launch two new initiatives under the National Food Security Strategy’s #FoodLinkFund to strengthen food supply chains and help producers reach more markets: canada.ca/en/agriculture-agr… @HICC_ca

I'm so proud of all the work that @shaniatwainfnd do and this national partnership with @SecondHarvestCA brings me so much pride and joy, especially as it tackles an issue I faced in my own childhood. Together, The Shania Twain Foundation and Second Harvest are making sure that food nourishes people, not landfills. They are tackling two urgent issues: food waste and food insecurity across Canada.

Our new partner @haven.greens donated 21,000+ lbs of fresh, local lettuce from their King City greenhouse! It was delivered to 332 GTA charities via our network. That’s food rescue in action — feeding people, not landfills. 💚 #FoodRescue #NoFoodWaste #Toronto #GTA

Avoidable food waste creates 25.7 million tonnes of CO2e every year, which is roughly equivalent to the annual emissions of 5.6 million passenger vehicles. Learn more about the environmental impact of food waste at secondharvest.ca.
