Seeding The Future Foundation and the Institute of Food Technologists are proud to announce the Grand Prize and Growth Grant semifinalists as well as the Seed Grant finalists for the 2024 Seeding The Future Global Food System Challenge. A record of nearly 1,200 submissions were received this year from scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and multidisciplinary teams from 93 countries, each showcasing their groundbreaking innovations that have the potential to address the most critical food system challenges.
Ultimately, 13 winners will be awarded part of the $1 million in prize funding, including up to eight Seed Grant winners ($25,000 each), up to three Growth Grant winners ($100,000 each), and up to two Seeding The Future Grand Prize winners ($250,000 each).
Submissions opened on September 9, 2024, and closed on January 6, 2025. Over the last two months, submissions have been carefully evaluated and scored based on their novelty and projected impact on people’s lives and the environment by globally recognised and accomplished experts across various science and technology disciplines.
Bernhard van Lengerich, founder of the Seeding The Future Foundation, said, “The submissions this year far surpassed our expectations as the Challenge has quickly established itself as an important global competition focusing on issues food systems are facing. The need for transformative innovations to address those issues grows more urgent every day, and we at the Seeding The Future Foundation are inspired by the abundance of creative and passionate innovator teams and entrepreneurs developing truly novel and impactful innovations.”
