The Future of Food is Canada

Canada’s plant-based value chain is vast, extending beyond the farm-to-fork linkages to land in places one doesn’t immediately think of—including our dogs’ beloved food bowls. And for the last two years, project partners Pulse Canada, AGT Food and Ingredients, and BSM Partners have been working to see those plant-based ingredients be incorporated into dog food more often.

As Protein Industries Canada reaches the next phase in its funding cycle, the majority of its project partners are also reaching a significant milestone: a wrapping up of their initial projects, in preparation for new collaboration opportunities.

So far, Protein Industries Canada and its partners have concluded four of their more than 50 collaborative technology and capacity building projects. The rest are expected to reach their final milestones over the coming months, up until the end of March 2023.

A reflection from CEO Bill Greuel: I headed off to COP27 on Nov. 9 with a general acknowledgment of why I thought it was so important to go and share the Canadian innovation story. I was honoured to be part of the official Canadian Delegation and I did not take the opportunity lightly.
