Circular Food Innovation Lab (CFIL)
The City of Vancouver has an aspirational goal to become a zero waste community by 2040, a goal that includes the development of a circular economy of food (CEF). A circular economy is where every material, including food, is used to its full extent and nothing is wasted or treated as garbage. Funding from Mitacs and the Carbon Neutral Cites Alliance is helping Vancouver move the dial on the circular economy of food. The City of Vancouver in collaboration with Vancouver Economic Commission’s Economic Transformation Lab will bring systems design interns from Emily Carr University of Art + Design together with Vancouver’s supply chain actors to find practical, innovative solutions to food waste. Tested on-the-floor by staff and managers these solutions will potentially inform new practices for a diverse range of sectors. This is ground breaking work that will be shared with Vancouver’s supply chain actor community and other cities regionally, nationally and internationally.
