TORONTO, May 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Canada’s commitment to reduce food waste and associated carbon emissions, coupled with the COVID-19 crisis and its impacts on the number of vulnerable Canadians requiring food supports, have placed increased emphasis on the importance of redistributing excess edible food.
Second Harvest, Canada’s largest food redistribution organization, has commissioned Value Chain Management International (VCMI) to identify the volume, types and potential sources of edible food. They are looking for input from food businesses of all types and sizes including farms, retail, HRI, primary processing, distribution and wholesale, greenhouses and aquaculture. This research project is supported by a grant from the Walmart Foundation.
