But how much thought have you really given to the problem of food waste and spoilage, and how it could be hampering our country’s effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?\n\nOn this episode of Disruptors, an RBC podcast, co-hosts John Stackhouse and Trinh Theresa Do wrap up their special, three-part series called, “The Growing Challenge”, with an in-depth examination of how both food waste and spoilage represent a huge and often overlooked obstacle to our nation’s sustainability efforts. Not only is Canada one of the most wasteful countries on the planet, but organic waste that ends up in landfills also generates methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas.\n\nIn addition to some familiar voices, John and Theresa will also hear from Meeru Dhalwala, author, chef, and restaurateur; Randy Huffman, the Chief Food Safety and Sustainability Officer at Maple Leaf Foods; Kevin Groh, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs at Loblaw Companies Limited; as well as Jeremy Lang, the founder and Vice-President of Sustainability at Pela Earth and Lomi."}
