Food Waste Reduction Challenge
“Impact Canada”
$1,500,000.00
Maximum Eligible Amount
Government Grant
Fund Type
In Canada, more than half of our food supply is wasted every year - that’s over $50 billion in avoidable food waste. Solving the problem of food waste is complex and needs a variety of solutions. That is why the Challenge will include four targeted innovation streams to accelerate and advance the deployment of diverse and high-impact solutions to food waste in Canada.
AAFC is calling on innovators to submit a concept application for solutions that: can measurably reduce food waste – in dollars and metric tonnes; are innovative and disruptive to the status quo – the old way of doing business is out; are ready to scale up – it is time to deploy high-impact and wide-reaching solutions across the Canadian food supply chain; have a strong business case – there is a demand for your solution; make a difference to our communities – creating jobs and increasing access to safe, nutritious, and high-quality food is a priority; and, improve our environment – reducing food waste means shrinking our GHG footprint and conserving natural resources.
