Description

Growing, packaging, transporting, and distributing food is a major source of society’s emissions, accounting for approximately 26% of annual global emissions. Reducing the impact of food production is critical to bringing society back within the planetary boundaries, and Wayne McIntyre, cofounder and CEO of Montreal-based Relocalize, wants to “Decarbonize and hyper-localize food & beverage manufacturing.”

The company is developing technology and a business strategy for decentralized food production using automated microfactories that are placed close to major consumer markets. It promises retailers “full control over their supply chain” in exchange for providing just 1,200 sq. feet of space for Relocalize’s operation. The result, Relocalize claims, will be up to 30% savings on products, 90% less CO2 emissions, and other operational savings because the food does not need to be transported long distances.
