Harvest Impact Cultivator Loan is a program offering $10,000 in financing at 0% interest to approximately 34 Guelph-Wellington food system businesses (including not-for-profits and social enterprises) in support of their recovery from current economic shocks and helps them shift their practices in a way that contributes to a more sustainable, equitable and healthy food economy.

Our Food Future

A Smart Cities Circular Food Economy Project​

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, 50 new circular economy businesses and collaborations and a 50% increase in circular economic revenue by recognizing the value of waste.
