When this much food goes uneaten, all the land, water, energy and labour used to grow, transport and prepare it are lost too.
Avoidable food waste (food that’s perfectly good to eat but ends up going to waste) creates 25.69 million metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, the same as more than 250,000 flights from Toronto to Vancouver.
Addressing food waste is one of the most powerful climate actions we can take.
YOU’RE INVITED! The National School Food Waste Challenge invites your school to help change the story of food waste. Simple, fun, and impactful, this initiative helps students and staff measure, reduce, and celebrate food waste reduction. Join us in turning everyday actions into lasting climate impact.
