Key Dates for Challenge Streams C and DĬhallenge Streams C and D are launched, and application intake is until August 31, 2021. Solution supports access to safe, nutritious, and high-quality foodĥ. Reducing food waste means shrinking our greenhouse gas footprint and conserving natural resources
The solution will create economic and financial benefits There are many different ways the technology could be used (e.g., types of food covered, range of contexts) Novel technologies that help open a new way forward Are innovative and potentially transformative They extend shelf life or productively transform food waste into a new itemĢ. Challenge Objectives & Assessment Criteria of Streams C and DĪAFC is calling on innovators to submit an application for solutions based on novel technologies that: Text on screen: Try to turn it into a value-added product! Text on screen: Food Waste Reduction Challenge. Novel technologies streams are open for submissions. Text on screen: What is your technology-based solution? Text on screen: Try to extend its shelf life! Text on screen: Instead of letting it rot. In order to be eligible for the Food Waste Reduction Challenge, applicants’ solutions must leverage innovation to reduce food loss and waste as identified in the following Challenge statements:
Stream D focuses on technologies that transform food waste by converting surplus food, food by-products, or food waste into other products, including: food for humans, food for animals/insects (e.g. Stream C focuses on technologies that extend the life of perishable foods by finding ways to slow the degradation of perishable food items and extend the length of time these food items may be stored before they become spoiled. Successful solutions are advancing technologies to make them more effective, efficient, scalable, and competitive. These streams target technologies in their early development phase to accelerate their advancement and prospective deployment in the Canadian market. They support novel technologies at the prototyping or testing phase which extend the life of perishable food or which transform surplus food (or food by-products) that would otherwise be wasted into another product. The Challenge StreamsĬhallenge Streams C and D are closed for new applications. Challenge Streams C and D are now closed for new applications. The application deadline was January 18, 2021. Challenge Streams A and B are closed for new applications. Solutions can focus on preventing or diverting food waste at any point from farm to plate and should aim to make a dramatic and measurable reduction in food waste. That is why the Challenge includes four targeted innovation streams to accelerate and advance the deployment of diverse and high-impact solutions to food waste in Canada. Solving the problem of food waste is complex and needs a variety of solutions. In Canada, more than half of our food supply is wasted every year - that’s over 50 billion dollars in avoidable food waste. Globally, food waste accounts for 8% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, largely from edible food decomposing in landfills.
