Sustainable Partnerships for Change
GreenSavours, an Enactus Capilano initiative, unites local farms, food producers, and businesses in a mission to make sustainability accessible. By partnering with organizations like the Lotus Light Charity in Vancouver, GreenSavours collects surplus food and high-quality ingredients that would otherwise go to waste. These partnerships strengthen community ties while tackling food insecurity and environmental waste at the same time.

More about greensavours
GreenSavours is a student-led sustainability initiative dedicated to tackling food insecurity and reducing waste in our community. We recover surplus food from local businesses and farms — food that would otherwise go to landfills — and transform it into nutritious, ready-to-eat bento boxes. These meals are then distributed directly to students in need, ensuring access to healthy food while preventing waste.
empowering a waste-free future
Our commitment goes beyond distribution. We close the loop by composting any remaining food scraps, creating a fully sustainable cycle that minimizes environmental impact. GreenSavours bridges the gap between food surplus and food scarcity while fostering a culture of conscious consumption and circular economy practices.
Transforming surplus food into Affordable Campus Meals
GreenSavours is exploring innovative ways to reduce local food waste by turning surplus ingredients and unsold prepared meals into healthy, pre-orderable dishes that students can conveniently pick up on campus. By repurposing fresh, high-quality food into affordable and delicious meals, the project not only helps students access nutritious options at a low cost but also contributes to building a more sustainable food system. This initiative creates a win–win solution: students enjoy budget-friendly dining while the community takes meaningful steps to cut food waste.
sustainable development goals we address:
SDG 2 – Zero Hunger: By providing free, nutritious meals to students facing food insecurity.
SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being: Ensuring access to balanced meals supports student health and academic success.
SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production: Reducing food waste through recovery, redistribution, and composting.
SDG 13 – Climate Action: Preventing food from reaching landfills reduces methane emissions and environmental impact.
SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals: Collaborating with local farms, businesses, and campus organizations strengthens community-driven solutions.
