“Each year, the Seeding The Future Global Food System Challenge reminds us that transformative innovations to enable safe, nutritious, affordable and trusted food can emerge from every corner of the world. This year’s winners exemplify the ingenuity, determination, and multidisciplinary thinking needed to address some of humanity’s most pressing challenges and reflect our foundation’s vision for more sustainable, equitable and resilient food systems. We are honored to collaborate with our trusted partner, Welthungerhilfe, as host of the Challenge, and proud to support innovators and entrepreneurs whose work will catalyze a lasting impact for people and planet,” said Bernhard van Lengerich, Founder & CEO of Seeding The Future Foundation.
To promote innovations at various stages – from ideation and development to scaling – the Challenge offers three levels of awards: Seed Grant, Growth Grant, and Seeding The Future Grand Prize. While eight Seed Grant winners each receive $25,000, three Growth Grant winners each receive $100,000, and two Seeding the Future Grand Prize winners receive $250,000 each.
