Federal government launches food waste reduction challenge
NOTE: This opportunity has expired or is an event which has already taken place.Food Waste refers to all food that is grown, harvested, processed, manufactured or prepared for human consumption, but never eaten by people. It occurs at all stages of the food supply chain, from farm to plate.
In Canada and around the world, food waste continues to increase, resulting in an overuse of our natural resources such as water, soil and land, while contributing excess greenhouse gas emissions to our atmosphere. Meanwhile, a growing number of Canadians are facing food insecurity.
In response, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), under the Food Policy for Canada, is launching the $20M Food Waste Reduction Challenge and is accepting applications for Challenge Streams A and B until January 18, 2021 under two streams:
- Challenge Stream A: Business models that prevent food waste
- Challenge Stream B: Business models that divert food waste, food by-products and/or surplus food
