Funding Opportunity: Seeding the Future Global Food System Challenge
The Seeding the Future Global Food System Challenge, hosted by Seeding the Future Foundation in partnership with the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), has opened its fourth annual application period. This challenge, now open for applications until January 6, 2025, provides a competitive platform for visionary teams and organizations worldwide to address pressing food system challenges with impactful innovations. By awarding up to $1 million in funding across three award categories–Seed Grants, Growth Grants, and Grand Prizes–the initiative seeks to advance scalable solutions that contribute to nutritious, sustainable, and equitable food systems.
This year, applicants who advance through the review phases gain the additional benefit of being listed in a new Innovation Database and Network. This interactive database connects innovators with global organizations such as the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Food Program, as well as potential investors, broadening their reach and support opportunities.
