We are aiming to reduce food waste as well as food insecurity in the Halifax area, as these two issues go hand in hand. We’re doing this by diverting unused food (which would otherwise be food waste) from restaurants, farms, and other food vendors to a community fridge. This community fridge will be located on the Dalhousie University campus and will be available for all students to use. The fridge will be operated by the Loaded Ladle, a student-run organization that provides free, nutritious meals to Dalhousie students, as well as promotes food security, food justice and food sovereignty.
