Healthier, greener, affordable food, feed and bioproducts

We believe science & technology can help solve the grand challenges of our generation. Consumers want healthier, more sustainable and more interesting foods at affordable prices. Consumers want bioproducts including biofuels, bioplastics and biotextiles and to replace fossil-based alternatives.

We are revolutionising the barley value chain. We started our journey with barley-derived brewers spent grain, our horizon one. Over 45 million tonnes of brewers spent grain is produced globally each year that is under-utilised, usually sent to landfill or to farmers as a comparatively low-value stock feed. Brewing beer only removes the starchy sugars from the grain, yet the food-grade byproduct is all the fantastic protein, fibre and micronutrients that goes to waste. This makes no sense and creates a big starting opportunity that we are working to fix. Maximum Value. Minimum Waste.
