This is the second round of the Growing Kent & Medway Business Sustainability Challenge looking to fund projects that lead to the sustainable improvement of horticultural and plant-based food and drink operations. They have £600k available for grants worth £10k-£50k, which will need to be 50% match funded. Businesses need to be based in Kent or Medway.
The Business Sustainability Challenge will award funding of up to £50,000 for innovative ideas, processes, or technologies that support sustainable production, products and packaging solutions. The funders are particularly interested in projects that create circular economies in the horticulture and plant-based food and drink supply chain.
This grant scheme is for high-impact, short-term innovative projects, with collaborations encouraged. Successful applicants will need to match-fund 50% of the total project cost. The grant scheme is not for capital projects.
