Food Innovation Hubs 

Nourish the world without harming the planet

Strengthening innovation ecosystems for food systems transformation

The current food system needs to produce much more food, while planetary boundaries are already being crossed. The Food Innovation Hubs Global Initiative, launched by the World Economic Forum, with public, private and civil society partners, leverages multi-stakeholder and market-based partnerships to scale fit-for-purpose innovations.


Through mobilizing and influencing the right ecosystem of partners, the initiative aims to accelerate the transformation of our food systems to be healthier, net-zero, water-positive, and more equitable.
