Saint-Laurent

Creating a protocol to measure food recovery and meal preparation

To address poverty and food deserts, community groups in Saint-Laurent are working around a shared vision of an inclusive, sustainable, and solidarity-based food system. New food production and recovery initiatives needed to be streamlined and lacked data about their operations. A management tool was created to help collect data on the availability of food and what was being recovered. The tool was considered useful for measuring and reducing food waste in a local context.

This tool could help other groups to assess their own operations and highlight the breadth of their work.
