On this episode of BC Food News, host Jennifer English discusses the new investments made by the Canadian government to accelerate clean technology innovation in the agri-food sector. Key focus is on the substantial funding of up to $3.25 million awarded to the Canadian Food Innovation Network Inc. or CFIN from the Agricultural Clean Technology Program Research and Innovation Stream Accelerator (ACT Accelerator). This initiative will assist small- and medium-sized businesses in developing new clean technologies through CFIN's True North Sustainable Food Fund. Ultimately, the project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in food production, reuse food waste, and promote economic resilience in Canada's food supply chain. Jennifer also provides key insight on the Agricultural Clean Technology Program's targets and the government's commitment to reducing emissions significantly by 2035.- https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4689928-1&h=220004467&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cfin-rcia.ca%2F&a=Canadian+Food+Innovation+Network+Inc.- https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4689928-1&h=1051276814&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.canada.ca%2Fen%2Fagriculture-agri-food%2Fnews%2F2026%2F05%2Fgovernment-of-canada-invests-30-million-in-six-not-for-profit-organizations-to-help-accelerate-clean-technology-innovation-across-canadian-agriculture.html&a=investment+of+up+to+%2430+million- https://prnmedia.prnewswire.com/news/agriculture-and-agri__food-canada/- https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4689928-1&h=455369061&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.canada.ca%2Fen%2Fservices%2Fenvironment%2Fweather%2Fclimatechange%2Fclimate-plan%2F2035-emissions-reduction-target.html&a=commitment+to+reduce+its+greenhouse+emissions- https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4689928-1&h=2419100245&u=https%3A%2F%2Fagriculture.canada.ca%2Fen%2Fprograms%2Faccelerator&a=Agricultural+Clean+Technology+Program+Research+and+Innovation+Stream+%E2%80%93+Accelerator- https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4689928-1&h=3919530104&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcan01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.facebook.com%252FCanadianAgriculture%26data%3D05%257C02%257CEric.Rochon2%2540AGR.GC.CA%257Ce22e9f523a06478a3fcb08deaf6f9a03%257C9da98bb118574cc387519a49e35d24cd%257C0%257C0%257C639141091117485854%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%253D%253D%257C0%257C%257C%257C%26sdata%3DLAsXSqEgKpSSFDLxEMOh3AMrz2WsGovJExLCh%252FnlMO8%253D%26reserved%3D0&a=Facebook- https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4689928-1&h=1696916562&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcan01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fx.com%252FAAFC_Canada%26data%3D05%257C02%257CEric.Rochon2%2540AGR.GC.CA%257Ce22e9f523a06478a3fcb08deaf6f9a03%257C9da98bb118574cc387519a49e35d24cd%257C0%257C0%257C639141091117510594%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%253D%253D%257C0%257C%257C%257C%26sdata%3DQaboT1I003iUIqyurNEjQNZUuKUJmA3wwHNy4vuDmeA%253D%26reserved%3D0&a=X%2C- https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4689928-1&h=3625903012&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcan01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.youtube.com%252Fuser%252FAgricultureCanadaEng%26data%3D05%257C02%257CEric.Rochon2%2540AGR.GC.CA%257Ce22e9f523a06478a3fcb08deaf6f9a03%257C9da98bb118574cc387519a49e35d24cd%257C0%257C0%257C639141091117532250%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%253D%253D%257C0%257C%257C%257C%26sdata%3DdxizGP4ZWz9qNZXV2xdkVF%252F39NtHFQoEIHvZePpKxqw%253D%26reserved%3D0&a=YouTube- https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4689928-1&h=1256402802&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcan01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Finstagram.com%252Fcdn_agriculture%26data%3D05%257C02%257CEric.Rochon2%2540AGR.GC.CA%257Ce22e9f523a06478a3fcb08deaf6f9a03%257C9da98bb118574cc387519a49e35d24cd%257C0%257C0%257C639141091117552781%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%253D%253D%257C0%257C%257C%257C%26sdata%3D60dt0ikfwmjOV5pmzUapK0htuK%252FmHvUN0mdMtUKbATg%253D%26reserved%3D0&a=Instagram- https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4689928-1&h=129888523&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcan01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.linkedin.com%252Fcompany%252F1574%252Fadmin%252F%26data%3D05%257C02%257CEric.Rochon2%2540AGR.GC.CA%257Ce22e9f523a06478a3fcb08deaf6f9a03%257C9da98bb118574cc387519a49e35d24cd%257C0%257C0%257C639141091117571922%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%253D%253D%257C0%257C%257C%257C%26sdata%3DgkEzbBht4eLBA3eQzKfJLp5c8E3WFuP%252Bo8xFU3%252FF6Gk%253D%26reserved%3D0&a=LinkedIn- mailto:[email protected] mailto:[email protected] https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4689928-1&h=3398946785&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcan01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fagriculture.canada.ca%252Fen%26data%3D05%257C02%257CEric.Rochon2%2540AGR.GC.CA%257Ce22e9f523a06478a3fcb08deaf6f9a03%257C9da98bb118574cc387519a49e35d24cd%257C0%257C0%257C639141091117592506%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%253D%253D%257C0%257C%257C%257C%26sdata%3DVqUZIY3zDCL7Y%252BnBMRF5PLJnTXlWrqLLAp27dmP3ZgU%253D%26reserved%3D0&a=Agriculture+and+Agri-Food+Canada
