BIO
Emily Owen is a Senior Foodraising Manager at Second Harvest with a background in grain trading and agricultural supply chain management. Raised on a farm in Manitoba and married to a potato farmer, she brings deep-rooted passion for Canadian agriculture and ensuring nutritious food reaches those who need it most.
Through her work, Emily connects farmers and food businesses with communities facing food insecurity, transforming surplus and off-grade food into meals instead of waste.
A passionate mother of two, she is driven to see people in need fed nutritious food while building a stronger, more resilient food system for future generations. Emily thrives on creating collaborative solutions that help farmers keep feeding people and strengthen communities through the power of food.
Emily wants every child to have access to good food, and she believes the Race to Rescue campaign is a powerful way to rescue 1 million meals while strengthening communities through collaborative food rescue.
