To achieve Our Food Future goals, we’ve established nine Pathfinder projects grouped into three workstreams.
| Workstream 1: Nutritious foods |
Workstream 2: Circular businesses & collaboration |
Workstream 3: Waste as a resource |
|
Goal: increase access to affordable, nutritious food by 50 per cent Project 1: Assess the Guelph-Wellington food environment Project 2: Create a circular food security and health action plan |
Goal: create 50 new circular businesses and collaborations Project 3: Establish a circular food economy innovation hub (iHub) Project 4: Coordinate a Harve$t Impact Fund funding and financing ecosystem to support circular enterprises Project 5: Foster new food economy skills and training |
Goal: increase circular economic benefit by 50 per cent by unlocking the value of waste Project 6: Develop and share circular business tools and services Project 7: Launch a “reimagine food” campaign Project 8: Increase the circularity of carbon credits in the food system Project 9: Increase circularity in municipal waste systems to drive innovation along the food value chain |
These Pathfinder projects are supported by a data and technology strategy based on a Data Utility that provides secure, transparent access to data and technology that support inclusive and open innovation. Meanwhile, a comprehensive engagement strategy helps create a shared vision and ensure broad based buy-in from stakeholders and the community.
Meanwhile, several Living Lab projects touch on two or more workstreams.
