Calling all innovators, entrepreneurs, scientists and multidisciplinary teams passionate about transforming global food systems: We at the Seeding The Future Foundation are excited to announce the opening of our 4th Annual Seeding The Future Global Food System Challenge, hosted by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT). The Challenge offers up to $1 million in grants and prizes for high-impact innovations that drive positive change in food systems. We are looking for groundbreaking ideas that can make our food system more equitable, sustainable and resilient, while enabling safe, nutritious and accessible food solutions that are affordable, appealing and trusted. If your work is focused on reshaping the future of food, we invite you to be part of this journey. #Innovation #SustainableFood #GlobalFoodSystems #SeedingTheFuture #IFT

We seed high impact efforts and support organizations that drive change to improve food security
About us
We fund game-changing and impactful initiatives and organizations which improve our food systems, make them more equitable and lead to food that is trusted, affordable, appealing and healthy. One of our programs supports efforts that address hunger and malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UNFAO) and World Food Program (WFP), population in this region alone will more than double, from about 1.1 billion to 2.4 billion by 2050. Struggling smallholder farmers manage 80% of the farmland and provide 80% of the food. Nearly 50% of farmers are women. 40% and higher post harvest food loss cause food insecurity, hunger, and malnutrition. We believe that today’s biggest challenges will inspire leading technologies and science approaches to feed "the next billion".
We believe that seeding these efforts can help dramatically reduce post harvest losses, provide safe and nutritious food, and enable the creation of small and local food businesses to alleviate extreme poverty, hunger, and malnutrition.
We support organizations and help fund robust and scalable solutions with the highest long term impact.
