Lori Nikkel
CEO, Second Harvest
Leading Canada’s largest food rescue organization of 65, Lori’s team rescues more than 15 million lbs of unsold food from across the entire supply chain, redistributing it to a network of 370+ non-profit partners in the GTA and facilitates surplus food exchange across Canada, fulfilling a unique environmental and social mission of “No waste, No hunger”. Under her leadership, Second Harvest launched FoodRescue.ca, a community-led, online platform for local food donations across Ontario, now expanded to BC, and The Avoidable Crisis of Food Waste, a world-first research study that measures food loss and waste across the Canadian supply chain and which has already become the standard for defining its scale and scope.
