This year, we have identified the below specific themes that are a priority for investment, though all project proposals that meet the fund criteria will be considered:
➡🍽👩🍳💡Food and drink processing projects that have the potential to utilize large volumes of commodity grains and oilseeds for novel uses
➡⚗⛽👩🔬 Projects focused on next-generation bio-economy grains-based solutions such as renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel and bio-based materials like compostable plastics
➡🐄🐖🐔 Transformative projects for the feed industry that maximize the potential for Ontario grains in animals' diets
➡🏭🏗📈 Projects that will support new, scalable, value-added processing opportunities in Ontario
➡📣🌾🏆 Projects with significant market reach that promote Ontario grain- and oilseed-based products in a positive manner that can demonstrably increase customer awareness and demand
We've previously funded projects for Ontario barley-based yeasts, corn-fed beef, oat-based beverages, wheat-based whisky, soy-based yogurt and so much more. If you use or want to use Ontario grown grain ingredients and have a project in mind, we want to hear from you!
We are now accepting applications up until November 3rd, 2023. Check out our press release for more details: https://lnkd.in/ewJ-Qp6t
