The Future is circular – and Our Food Future helped show the path forward
Food nourishes, delights, and connects us, however, the traditional global food system is inherently wasteful and unsustainable. Over four incredible years this initiative worked with more than 1,000 stakeholders to lead 80+ projects to tackle current challenges and explore opportunities. Our Food Future inspired local actions, new social enterprises, circular businesses and municipal sytems that are contributing to long-term sustainability in the food systems, and resiliency in our communities.
This website shares the enormous impact of this work – the ideas, stories, and research findings for others to carry forward.
