DESCRIPTION
TITLE: Provision Coalition Inc.
CONCEPT: A food system that regenerates our natural environment, provides healthy and nutritious food for all and which is an empowering and inspiring place for people to work.
The food system operates as a degenerative system, with levels of waste that are completely unsustainable.
We need to create a circular, regenerative food system that enables us to provide nutritious, high quality food for 9+bn people. We believe in the power of farmers and those who lead food companies to become the circular ambassadors for this system.
A food system that regenerates our natural environment, provides healthy and nutritious food for all and which is an empowering and inspiring place for people to work.
Provision’s Purpose is to make food sustainably. Our vision is the creation of a circular food system in Canada and beyond.
