A community shaping the future of food

AgVital

Food is humanity’s biggest single challenge – the single biggest cause of ill health in the world, climate change but also the loss of biodiversity. 50% of the world’s population suffers from malnutrition. Obesity costs 2.8% of GDP while food accounts for 25% of CO2. The answer is HBB, Hjext Balanced Behavior, a scalable, digital behavioral system that creates conscious experiences and develops a globally demand-driven healthy and sustainable digital food system. Optimal well-being for the individual, the environment and society. Today’s ultra processed food chain is unsustainable.

Selcis BioPharma

Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) are bacterial metabolites produced from fermentation products of dietary fibers and they are major mediators of differentiation, maturation, and activation of intestinal tissue and exerts potent effects on colonic mucosal functions through inhibition of inflammation.

An intestinal dysbiosis can be caused by antibiotics or poor diets, and can lead to decreased levels of SCFA´s in the gut. By improving the nutritional condition of the colon mucosa it may be possible to prevent or even alleviate some diseases. Of the biological active substances formed, the most important is butyric acid which stimulates mucosal cell proliferation, blood flow and oxygen uptake, resulting in a reduced gut permeability and influx of toxic/inflammatory substances to the circulation and may therefore decrease the risk for endotoxemia (low-grade inflammation) and associated diseases.

Selcis BioPharma is developing a technology where SCFA´s can be delivered to the colon and potentially prevent or restore gut homeostasis.

Mylla Mat

ConServ Sverige

More than 20Million take-away packages are used by restaurants in Sweden every year. The alternatives to plastic available today require a lot of chemicals in the manufacturing and require chemical barriers to resist hot liquids and greasy sauces. These chemicals can disintegrate and accumulate in our body as we consume take-away foods and get into our soil and water during incineration/ recycling. We propose a natural leaf-based solution with zero added chemicals.

Our vision is to remove chemicals altogether from food packaging. We strive to utilize the natural resources in its purest form to be truly sustainable and circular leaving behind nothing. The idea contributes to 4 of the 17 UN sustainability goals. We pledge to act as responsible producers with minimum resources and high energy efficiency.

Go Cirkulär

It is stimates that 1/3 of the food produced globally end up to waste.

I would love to open multi-spaces where people can shop, but also to do other activities, to learn and share with the community, of course, surrounded by good nordic aesthetics and design. I see Go Cirkulär as a movement and a way of living, perhaps of people like me, who care about their skin but feel we can make better choices every day to protect our planet.

SunFeeds

Hunger is the world’s greatest solvable health problem. There are 17 million children who are living on the edge between life and death due to hunger. In Sweden alone 60% of the population over 65 years are at risk of being malnourished. Hunger can take on many forms and affect different people but the devastation remains great. In order to reach the UNs sustainable development goals number #2 Zero Hunger there is a need for more innovative solutions to the problem.

Sustainable Food Waste SFW

Today, the food chain doesn’t know how the shelf life of frozen and chilled food is affected by changes in temperature. To be on the safe side in the event of a temperature deviation, the food is thrown away. The innovative SFW app can, with the help of a secured database, deliver clear and up-to-date information on how a product’s shelf life has been affected by a rise in temperature. Which benefits the various players in the food chain through ensure shelf life, reduced food waste and a reduced environmental impact.

In order to meet the need for food from the global population increase, more food must be produced in the next four decades than in the last 9,000 years! At the same time as global hunger is increasing, a third of all food produced is thrown away, a large part of that fraction arises due to temperature deviations. One problem is very often the uncertainty surrounding remaining shelf life. Sustainable Food Waste SFW is a FoodTech startup that wants to contribute to a responsible and sustainable handling of tempered food with a clear vision: No food waste caused by temperature deviations!

Yelte

Providing the market with a new type of plant based drink that are both sustainable and nutritious. Most of the plant based drinks on market today are flawed in one of these two regards.

Nixta Tacos

The current version of TacoFredag does not fulfill some of the consumer preferences. On top of that, a lot of effort is required to access products directly from small-scale farmers in Skåne. We are offering a home delivery box with authentic recipes from Mexico using fresh ingredients from local farms.

Our vision is to bridge the gap between small-scale farmers and consumers. We will accomplish it by reinventing the Tacofredag, from a mass produced product, to a curated experience.

Trash to gold

Trash to gold is here to accomplish one thing: to replace today’s single-use to-go products with upcycled alternatives that are better for the user and better for the environment. We do this by collecting operational biowaste from service-sector businesses and turn it into unique and good-looking products that can be (re)used instead.

Imagine a reusable to-go cup for coffee made from coffee grounds, a reusable lunchbox for sushi made from leftover rice, or a cutlery set made from old popsicle sticks or leftover food. The possibilities are endless.

Oddbird international

Oddbird produce quality wines, made with traditional methods and matured for up to 12 months, and then gently liberated from alcohol in order to preserve the flavors nature intended. But liberated from alcohol does not only describe the removal of the substance. It also describes the liberation from our drinking culture.

Liberation is a desired outcome of democratization which is exactly what we intend to do with the dinner table.

Innoscentia

In most parts of our world, we are using a highly inefficient system to determine food shelf life. Because of the inability to monitor products, producers are forced to assume worst-case scenarios when setting expiry dates, why about 30% of the shelf life is lost and locked up in the system. As the concern for food quality and food safety is growing around the world, the trend among end consumers is leaning towards more conservative interpretations of expiry dates, which emphasizes the need for a systematic shift in shelf-life determination.

Vision

Our vision is to become the category leader within dynamic shelf life indication technologies, and to help producers, retailers and end consumers to drastically reduce food waste around the world. Our vision is essentially to make it possible for all of us to consume the food we produce, and by doing so, to create a sustainable food system.

The easy-to-follow “Get Off Meat” hypnosis program is your road to recovery. Get ready to reset your brain and truly break free from your addiction!

SAVEGGY

Globally, about 45% of fruits and vegetables get wasted. Extension of shelf-life reduces carbon emissions and pollutions, increases the energy saving, educes inventory and ensures more food reaches consumers.

Our bio-based edible vegan coating extends the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables which is easily applied on the selected ones by using dipping or spraying methods after harvest.
