Food, dirt and scale

Food waste is one of the most pressing issues facing our food system today. It’s been estimated that at least 30% of all food produced in Canada goes to waste. Join us for a lively discussion about concerns and proposed solutions around food waste. This talk is part of the WasteScapes cycling tour/class visiting waste sites throughout Montreal in search of solutions. Class is taught by MJ Thompson and Elizabeth Miller.

How can you participate? Join the discussion via Zoom or by watching live on our Facebook stream.
