Seeding The Future's mission is to seed and support impactful initiatives and organizations aiming to transform food systems into ones that are more nutritious, regenerative, and equitable for everyone. Their vision is a global food system that offers equitable access to safe, nutritious, trusted, affordable, and appealing food for all, enhancing personal and planetary health by being sustainable, resilient, and regenerative. They aspire to positively impact the lives of one billion people.
The Annual Seeding The Future Global Food System Challenge, hosted by the Institute of Food Technologists and funded by the Seeding The Future Foundation, aims to inspire and support innovative, diverse, and multidisciplinary teams to create significant food system changes. This Challenge supports initiatives at the stage where prototypes or proof of concept showing feasibility have been developed. It encourages projects that can significantly impact and transform the food system to be more nutritious, sustainable, and equitable. The focus is on innovations that benefit at least one of the following domains: nutritious food for a healthy diet, sustainably produced, and making food accessible, appealing, affordable, and trusted by consumers. The Challenge provides three levels of awards, with Seed Grants of $25,000 each for high-potential innovative ideas that have a prototype or initial proof of concept. These innovations should ideally benefit at least one, and preferably two, domains of the Innovation Focus Area without negatively impacting the others.
