Now, more than ever, food is at the heart of this work.

Working alongside the CFE iHub and partners in the Our Food Future project, Harve$t Impact is exploring the continuum of social investing - from philanthropy to investing.

We believe that smart cities invest in themselves. We hope that you do as well. By working together, we can create new businesses and collaborations – including not-for-profit solutions that are the core engines of the social, environmental and economic change we seek. Let’s build a movement towards a circular food economy!

Inspired by the planet’s natural cycles, a circular food economy reorganizes and regenerates the systems that feed us, eliminating waste, replenishing our ecological systems, sharing economic prosperity, and nourishing our communities. In Guelph-Wellington, we are working to build a Circular Food Economy that will achieve a 50% increase in access to affordable nutritious food, create 50 new circular economy businesses and collaborations and achieve a 50% increase in circular economic revenue by recognizing the value of waste.
