What is this funding for?
Funding for collaborative projects on plant protein
Program Description
The global demand for protein is growing and changing, creating an increasing need for healthy, sustainable options. With Canada s long track record of high-quality crops and reputation for safe food practices, we re in a prime position to provide the world with a steady supply of innovative plant-based products. Based on current predictions, it s anticipated this could lead to a $25 billion global market share for Canada.
Achieving this potential requires a collaborative approach. Protein Industries Canada, under our newly allotted $150 million funding from the Government of Canada, is helping foster this collaboration through our second round of technology programs to develop new ingredients, put new products on grocery store shelves and strengthen Canada s plant-based ecosystem.
