about our program

At Second Harvest, we believe knowledge is a powerful tool in the fight against food waste and food insecurity.

Our training and education program equips individuals, organizations and communities with the skills and insights they need to make a lasting impact. Our trainings are developed, led, executed and facilitated by registered dietitians and education specialists, ensuring they are grounded in evidence-based expertise and practical, real‑world application.

From food safety certification to engaging workshops on food literacy and waste prevention, we offer a range of learning opportunities designed to build capacity, spark action, and support a more sustainable, inclusive food system.
