From Ritz Crackers to Milka Chocolate, our portfolio of beloved snacks must rely on, and contribute to, a healthier planet. We are seeking technologies that can protect and supplement our supply chains – primarily in cocoa and wheat – through high efficiency fermentation technologies; regenerative and emission reducing agricultural practices.
Examples include:
Regen Ag & Climate Smart Agriculture – Cocoa & Wheat
- Rapid, smartphone-based imaging for comprehensive cocoa bean quality assessment across all stages, including representative sampling.
- Affordable, on-farm cocoa butter extraction technology
Dairy Methane & On Farm Emission reduction Technologies
Robust Low Cost Plant Desease and Pest (e.g. viruses, fungi) Detection Capabilities
Precision and Traditional Fermentation Enabling Technologies
- Enabling technologies that will improve the efficiency or yield of traditional and precision fermentation process (e.g. Feedstocks, Media Components, Downstream Processing such as Lipid Extraction, Process Monitoring and Control, Long-term banking/cryopreservation of recalcitrant plant cell lines).
