Planetarians turns food security into a profitable business with 10x cheaper than beef alternatives, and you can join it! TLDR: Our patented technology transforms unavoidable sidestreams of food and beverage industries into a clean, nutritious, and delicious source of protein. Narrowing down food to first principles, we come to the question - where do we get the nutrients? Regardless of how you make food - plant-based, via animal agriculture, or growing cells in reactors - you need ingredients. Population is growing. The land is limited. So, where can we get initial nutrients? This is the question we asked ourselves 8 years ago. Looking at the food system from the helicopter view - we noticed that 1/3 of all grown crops are discarded one way or another. Imagine you want an orange… you have to peel it. Where does a peel go? Landfill, composting, animal feed… For us, it was the untapped source of nutrients. It accounts for 1/3 of all crops grown.
Is this your company?
Something looks off?
