We make affordable, accessible, and climate-resilient proteins that can prevent and treat malnutrition.
Our strategy
1
Create climate-resilient proteins
We leverage advances in fermentation science to generate proteins with a small carbon footprint through a process unaffected by climactic shocks.
2
Deliver products through markets
We integrate our proteins into products sold in markets to tackle malnutrition in low- and middle-income households.
3
Scale impact through partners
We work in partnership with local food companies to develop and deliver desirable products that meet nutritional needs.
The advantages of fermentation
We conduct cutting-edge R&D in the biosciences to advance the millenia-old process of fermentation. Fermentation is a powerful, flexible process that allows microorganisms to convert agricultural by product into proteins in large-scale bioreactors with multiple advantages:
● Yield & Replication: Can generate proteins 365 days per year, 24 hours per day with high yields.
● Circular Economy: Can valorize agricultural by products by converting them into proteins.
● Climate Resilience: Can generate proteins irrespective of climate and climatic shocks that affect agriculture and livestock.
● Land & Water Usage: Requires substantially less water and land use for protein production.
Where we work
We have launched in East Africa and have an operational footprint in Ethiopia and Kenya.
