Empowering Innovators

Buss discusses five deserving enterprises working to transform the food system which earn top awards in year two of the Seeding The Future Global Food System Challenge. Food Systems for the Future Institute became a Grand Prize winner this year in the Challenge after leveraging its Growth Grant from last year to help rapidly expand efforts to commercialize black soldier fly larvae for chicken feed in Rwanda. And both INMED Partnerships for Children and the World Wildlife Fund, winners of Growth Grants this year, were recipients of Challenge Seed Grants in the first year of the competition. The Challenge overall awards more than $1 million in prizes annually to inspire and support innovative, diverse, and multidisciplinary teams that are developing game-changing and highly impactful innovations that will help transform the global food system, make healthier diets more accessible, and empower consumers to make better choices for personal and planetary health.
