Our Concept
Our concept is simple: nutrients from agricultural waste can be converted into a highly concentrated protein product for aquaculture and livestock feed. In doing this, we help reduce the over-fishing and inefficient land use associated with current feed production. Furthermore, our natural fermentation process releases 50% less CO2, and our product contains no toxins or feed inhibitors.

A team is unique, an individual is not.
