ReFeed Leverages Grant Funding to Help Fix Canada's Broken Food System 

Over 50% of produced food goes unused, while 10% of people experience ongoing food insecurity. Reducing food waste, feeding people, and repairing the system are the heart of ReFeed’s mission. ReFeed relies on GrantMatch to help them propel their global mission forward.

The GrantMatch mission is to resolve global challenges by connecting clients to funding.

 

Refeed is taking on one hell of a global challenge. 

ReFeed's positive impact on Canada's climate and green economy make them an ideal candidate for government grants. 
 
Unlike conventional linear models which simply dispose of unused food, ReFeed's Circular Nutrition™ model extracts 100% utility from unused food. They do this by redirecting usable food to food banks to address food insecurity, turning the excess into feed for livestock, and using the rest in a worm farm which produces organic, natural fertilizer and soil amendments.
 

REFEED GET THEIR HANDS DIRTY (IN NUTRITIOUS SOIL!) WHILE GRANTMATCH PURSUES ELIGIBLE GRANT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES ON THEIR BEHALF. 

ReFeed was recently approved for  $250,000 in grant funding for a new facility 

With the help of funding secured through the BC Accelerating Manufacturing Scale-Up Grant Program, ReFeed is able to pilot their Circular Nutrition™ technology in a new 3,000 square foot custom facility. 
The investment will result in job creation,  a scale-up of technology, and the ability to expand into North American and global Cleantech markets.

COMPANY PROFILE

The ReFeed Farm is located in the heart of the Fraser River delta in Langley, British Columbia. This area is renowned as being among the richest and most fertile growing environments in North America. From this location, ReFeed works directly with partner farms to develop programs, best practices, and new products to help fix our broken food system.
In recent years, ReFeed has partnered with GrantMatch to explore and maximize its potential grant funding intake. It became apparent to ReFeed that having support in navigating the complicated, yet lucrative Canadian grant landscape was crucial to reaching new growth milestones.  Their partnership with GrantMatch has led to securing significant funding dollars, and the creation of a forward-looking proactive funding strategy.

PROACTIVE FUNDING STRATEGY

Recovering Nutrition

ReFeed works with the food industry to collect unused food and food waste, directing it away from GHG-producing compost facilities and extracting all its usable nutrients.  

Reducing Waste 

ReFeed's custom worm beds provide the ideal environment for worms to consume food waste and turn it into nutrient-rich castings which can replace synthetic fertilizers. 

Nourishing the Planet 

ReFeed nourishes their community by turning food waste and excess food into healthy livestock feed, recovering nutrition, reducing waste, and in turn, nourishing the planet.
