The NPO La Fourmi Verte believes that our current food system is flawed, as it leads to numerous shortcomings which affect us all. We attempt to mend some of those through the activities we involve ourselves in. Through relationships with local food banks, community centres, and local food retailers and producers, we’ve been able to prevent about 10,000 Kg of food from ending up in landfills in our first year of operation. Looking forward, we intend to concentrate more on educating youth in schools about food. We hope that by teaching them about waste, cooking, and food production, we can instill in them a greater understanding and appreciation towards food which will lead to a healthier relationship between our future generations and our food system.
