For Canada: Student Innovation Challenge

Cracking fresh ideas: Student Innovation Challenge

The Canadian egg industry is vibrant and growing, with egg farmers producing more eggs than ever before and doing so more sustainably. From providing new pathways towards reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions to offering new insights into caring for their hens to exploring medical advancements, evidence-based research is a core area for Egg Farmers of Canada (EFC) and our ambitious plan to grow Canada’s egg farming sector while increasing egg consumption.

EFC is hosting a Canada-wide student challenge to generate innovative research ideas to support our growth journey. Eligible students at a Canadian post-secondary learning institution are invited to share how their current research project can provide new solutions for egg farmers and the broader egg sector. All eligible students are invited to submit a short video in English or French describing current research in the area of sustainability, hen welfare, economics, human health or any topic that connects with the egg industry in Canada.

Your video, of approximately 5 minutes in length, should describe your research project and its stage of completion. Research projects may be in development, underway or recently completed (within the last year). What is important to us is that your video answers this question: What is your research project, and how is it bringing new innovation to the egg industry in Canada?

Three finalists will be selected and invited to participate in an upcoming EFC event to present their research project. Travel and accommodation (two nights maximum) will be covered by EFC. A winner will be selected at this meeting by a panel of judges. The winner will be awarded $5,000 CAD and the two remaining finalists will receive $2,500 CAD.

We talk about producing more food to feed the future—but how much could we save simply by wasting less of what we already produce? 🧠🌱

When does food actually become waste—when we throw it away, or when we decide it has no value?

A few more neuron-shaking options:
- If food is still edible, why do we call it waste?
- Are we wasting food—or wasting the resources used to produce it?
- What if the biggest source of food waste isn’t our garbage bin, but our decisions before food reaches it?
- How much of what we call “food waste” was actually avoidable?
- Before you throw it away: is it waste, or are we just done thinking about it?
- We worry about producing more food—but what if the first solution is wasting less of what we already have?
