What is food waste and why does it matter? In this episode, Melania Antoszko spoke to Garnet Borch, the Leftovers Foundation Edmonton City Coordinator to answer her questions about food waste, how to minimize food waste in your household, and the relationship between food redirection organizations and long term solutions to food insecurity. The Leftovers Foundation is one of Western Canada’s largest food rescue charities with a dual mission of reducing food waste and increasing food access through community mobilization. 

They also listened to a couple of clips from the first episode of the Wasted Leftovers webinar series with Tamisan Bencz-Knight from Edmonton's Food Bank.
