Why New Zealand?

A report from ReThink X predicts precision fermentation to be the core disruptive technology in food production over the next decade.

For decades now New Zealand has relied on cows for dairy production - we are one of the world’s leading dairy exporters, shipping close to 4 million tonnes of dairy products around the world each year.

This has left our country dependent on cows for trade, and the burden of everything that comes from high-intensity dairying - the demands on water, land, nitrogen fertilisers, palm kernel expeller (PKE) for feed, and the resulting carbon & methane emissions. Approximately half of our country’s emissions are related to animal agriculture.

It’s time for change.

We believe that with New Zealand’s world-leading expertise in dairy processing and high quality food manufacturing, we are perfectly positioned to embrace a new way of creating delicious dairy products - without needing any cows involved.
