Equinom is a fully integrated food-tech company, combining agricultural know-how, culinary expertise, and deep technology to develop delicious, nutritious, affordable, and sustainable non-GMO plant-based ingredients – from the ground up. For decades, crops have been farmed primarily for animal feed – not for human consumption. To be palatable in human food, these crops require extensive and expensive processing. . With limited processing facilities equipped for this use, the industry is on track to supply only 50% of the projected demand for plant-based foods. What is Equinom doing about it? Equinom is using science and technology to develop superior ingredients naturally, at the source – in a fraction of the time typically required to breed new crops. Equinom crops are bred naturally, without genetic editing or modification, and are optimized to make meat and dairy analogs more delicious, nutritious, cost-effective, and sustainable. The company’s proprietary Manna™ technology platform uses AI to speed the development of superior, high-yield, non-GMO ingredients as nature intended – featuring quality traits that satisfy consumer expectations. The technology also ensures biodiversity and climate resilience which are critical to ensure food security in light of climate change. Working with great partners including Meatless Farm, Roquette with GoodMills Group., Equinom is recognized as a trusted developer and supplier of unrivaled ingredients. Prestigious strategic investors such as BASF and Roquette have helped position Equinom as one of the breakout Round C companies to fuel the worldwide surge in plant-based eating.
