Future Food Asia 2017 Partner Awards

The Cargill Food for Good Award

Even as the demand to feed a rapidly-growing global population rises, so has the challenge to meet this need with healthy, nutritious and sustainably-produced food. Against the backdrop of climate concerns, increasing affluence and greater focus on healthier living, consumers are becoming more mindful about the impact of their food choices on both their bodies and the environment. More and more, they are seeking foods that are not only good for their health but also for the planet. The booming demand for plant-based / alternative proteins, immunity-boosting products, natural and organic ingredients are just some examples of this ever-growing conscious consumption. As a company with the vision to nourish the world in a safe, responsible and sustainable way, Cargill is proud to present one inspiring start-up with the “Cargill Food for Good Award”. The winning start-up will be one which is innovating new food solutions that do good – for people, product and/or planet. The winner will be awarded an in-field or lab-paid pilot, access to in-house experts and collaborations with Cargill Innovation Centers in the region, and be mentored by a Cargill project champion who will help them navigate the organization and leverage the benefits of the award.

The Thai Wah Prize for a Circular Bio-Economy

Thai Wah, strategic partner for FFA2022, has recognized these challenges and is committed to the promotion of a circular bio-economy, thus hoping to accelerate the transformation towards a climate and nature positive economy. Thai Wah will be sponsoring the ‘Thai Wah Circular Bio-Economy Prize’, underpinned by 2 key tenets, Biomass Bioprocessing and Bioproducts, and will also include advisory solutions that help farmers contribute to this objective. The recipient of the prize would be one that is able to help repurpose biomass into a useful or valuable product. The winner will receive full support from Thai Wah for their application development as well as pilot trial implementation. They will also have access to Thai Wah’s strong team of strategy and R&D professionals, with further assistance in their go to market strategy upon product validation.
