Here's what can be done
Inflation has hit most Canadian households quite hard in their grocery bills.
Second Harvest is a food rescue organization that works with food businesses from across the supply chain to redirect surplus food to non-profit organizations across Canada.
Their Pat Joslin had some startling statistics on food waste.
And it gets worse.
The waste attributed to households is estimated to cost families $3800 per year.
Joslin also reminds everyone that scrapping food also wastes all the food chain inputs such as water, energy, and transportation costs.
