[BCFSN] Fwd: Danone Institute North America Welcomes Applications for its “One Planet. One Health” Initiative Grant Program 2021

[Abra Brynne]

Hello all,
this may be of interest to some on this listserv. Note that it needs to
include an academic partner. Not a lot of money for the size of team and
timeline they are proposing but it may still be a way to advance an agenda.
in good food,
abra

be struggled for. That is what life is, or should be all about - striving
for justice. Not only or primarily as individuals, but as members of larger
communities." Ursula Franklin



It is my pleasure to reach out on behalf of the Danone Institute North
America about a grant program that I hope will be of interest to you, your
students and university faculty members.



Below is a brief overview of the initiative:

we are again looking forward to receiving Canadian applications this year
and amplifying this initiative within Canada.
