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

Working alongside Innovation Guelph and partners in the Our Food Future project, Harvest Impact is exploring the continuum of social investing - from philanthropy to investing. We believe that smart communities 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.
