Overview
Mission
We are committed to providing sustainable alternative solutions for the agrifood sector. Using biotechnology, we valorize organic waste, normally a primary source of CO2e emissions, water pollution, and social issues, turning it into sustainable animal feed sources, replacing traditional ones that consume water, land, and cause biodiversity loss. We aim to address organic waste management issues both at an industrial level and in rural areas, where there is a significant need for efficient waste management solutions and new income sources for small and medium producers.
