The Circular Food Innovation Lab project is led by the City of Vancouver in partnership with Emily Carr University of Art + Design and the Vancouver Economic Commission.
The Circular Food Innovation Lab project will identify, test, and modify solutions for preventing and reducing avoidable food waste in your businesses and Vancouver’s food supply chain, leading to less waste and greater profitability.
