The SHAKE Climate Change programme is specifically designed for entrepreneurs or start-ups who have developed early stage science or tech-based ideas that can have a significant impact on climate change, as well as form the basis of a sustainable and socially responsible business within the sector. Ideas can relate to any point in the food production chain, which contributes more than a quarter of global climate change emissions.
