Each year, close to $31 billion of food is wasted in Canada–yet nearly one in ten Canadian households have to worry about whether they have food on the table. The FoodAccess App will address two significant challenges – feeding hungry Canadians and addressing the high volume of wasted food in Canada.

This innovation will divert surplus quality food away from landfill by connecting farmers, manufacturers and restaurants with donation agencies and Canadian dinner tables that might otherwise go empty.
