A new era of sustainable food ingredients is here

Foods we love are often based on troubling realities.

Crops like cocoa can only be grown in certain parts of the world, where rainforests thrive. But the demand for these ingredients leads to mass deforestation and huge carbon emissions, which will only be made worse through climate change. According to Global Forest Watch, Ghana – a major producer of cocoa – lost 1.4 million hectares of tree cover from 2000 to 2021, resulting in 739 million tons of CO2 emissions.

How We Do It
At Planet A Foods, we use proprietary technology to ferment plant-based ingredients, allowing us to naturally recreate the flavours and fats in the foods we love. That means we can produce food ingredients locally and sustainably, which are decoupled from limited land and labor resources.
