Those are some great links, Sarah, Thanks for sharing.
Today and tomorrow first ministers are meeting in Ottawa to sign a climate change plan which includes policies to reduce food waste in Canada. The food waste policies are part of the “Working Group on Specific Mitigation Opportunities” More details can be found here: http://www.climatechange.gc.ca/default.asp?lang=En&n=64778DD5-1
Development seems to be eating a lot of food & farm land too recently. It might mean there is less food to eat in our City (so I guess the cup-half-full perspective would be that there’s less local food that can be wasted in Ottawa?) ;) We wrote a bit about it on our website and included some ‘time-lapse’ videos: http://ottawa.hiddenharvest.ca/featured/eating-ottawas-forests-and-farmland/
