The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) has released a new report through its North American Initiative on Food Waste Reduction and Recovery titled “Characterization and Management of Food Loss and Waste in North America,” outlining the state of food loss and waste (FLW) in Canada, Mexico and the U.S.
To compile the report, researchers at the CEC analyzed data and literature from nonprofits and other governmental organizations and conducted hundreds of interviews with industry experts. A companion report describing the state of organic waste in North America was also released.
