The problem - There’s a difference between food and nutrition
Cassava is the 3rd most important crop worldwide The root constitutes the daily food for 800 million people living in the tropical zone (annual consumption of 150+ kg per capita); however the root is poor in nutrition and is used mainly to achieve satiety.
Such useful elements as protein and minerals are left in the foliage (leaves and stems), which is mostly discarded today. That’s up to 20% of the industry’s 35 Mio. Mt/year production or root/tubers. This foliage contains up to 40% of protein by weight.
This disposal of agro waste is environmentally unsustainable and creates economic opportunities. We believe there’s a perfect way to turn waste into nutrition, increasing the effectiveness of the resources used in planting and growing cassava.
