Imagine plant-based meat alternatives that offer the texture, flavour, and appearance of animal proteins. Using innovations in extrusion processing, we develop new protein texturizing technologies that create plant-based products that mimic the texture of animal proteins. The texture of plant-based protein products still poses a barrier to convincing consumers to adopt alternatives to meat. But current approaches to creating plant-based meat substitutes are falling short in building a protein structure that mirrors a meaty texture experience. We help plant-based protein producers satisfy consumers’ desire for meaty texture and appearance. By improving texture, our techniques enhance the eating experience of plant-based products. The result: a more convincing and satisfying alternative to replace animal-based foods.

Renew Food is investigating the use of novel protein-based flavor ingredients. The taste and nutritional quality of alternative foods are top priorities for consumers seeking new, great-tasting, healthy food products that are good for our planet.

Full Harvest helps growers get the most out of a harvest and food companies save money by bringing farm excess to market. We are a B2B platform connecting large farms to food businesses to sell significantly discounted, yet perfectly good surplus and imperfectly shaped produce that would have otherwise gone to waste.

We aim to solve this problem by creating a marketplace for this unutilized edible and delicious produce. Our vision is three-fold: bring an additional revenue stream to farmers, lower the cost of healthy food production, while significantly reducing wasted food and resources. A win-win for everyone.
