On July 18th, 2017 from 12:00-1:30pm EST, the National Zero Waste Council, in collaboration with Sustain Ontario and Eco-Ethonomics invite you to join them to their webinar presentation and discussion on Canada’s National Food Waste Reduction Strategy. Check out more information from the National Zero Waste Council’s website below.
Food waste presents a significant problem economically, environmentally and socially. It is a challenge that faces countries around the world, including Canada. While European nations and the United States have taken leadership on the issue with changes in policy and practice, Canada is lagging behind.
The National Zero Waste Council has proposed a National Food Waste Reduction Strategy for Canada that takes the best of successful action worldwide and presents a three-pillar approach that includes recommendations for changes in policy, behavior, and innovation in infrastructure.
The National Zero Waste Council is reaching out to leaders in the public, private and community sectors who are involved with food loss and waste. The National Zero Waste Council is seeking feedback on the National Food Waste Reduction Strategy with respect to implementation and collaboration. A deeper and more refined Strategy as a result of stakeholder feedback is expected in 2018.
The National Zero Waste Council is a leadership initiative bringing together governments, businesses and community organizations to advance waste prevention in Canada. The Council is focused on waste prevention and reduction through collaborative action on the design, production, and use of goods.
