Our vision is to create the world's most scalable, cost effective, and environmentally friendly source of vegetable oil and protein.
We take underused land and make it productive again. There are 200,000+ acres of abandoned citrus land in Florida and 100,000 acres of former sugarcane land in Hawaii. We are working with growers in those markets by planting a legumeous tree crop called pongamia that produces oil and protein. Our technology is a combination of high yielding cultivars, true-to-type tree production and downstream product IP. We like pongamia because it requires only 10-20% of fertilizer and water that’s need in farming soybeans while producing 8x higher yield per acre.
