At Second Harvest, we dive deep into food waste research because we know it's key to cooking up a sustainable future.
Our research has caught the eye of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the Canadian government, and other like-minded organizations. It’s also been featured in reputable news outlets like Forbes, Courrier International, the Globe and Mail, the National Post, CBC and CTV.
At Second Harvest, we rely on accurate data to help us make informed decisions in everything we do.
In addition to our ground-breaking research, we leverage data to measure our impact.
We’ve developed a unique greenhouse gas calculator to determine the environmental impact of the food we rescue, our dollar value calculator puts a financial value on rescued food and our meal calculator outlines how many meals can be created per pound of rescued food. Our annual surveys and ongoing analytics reflect our data-driven approach to reporting.
