Creating Ingredients with Taste and Appeal

Two-thirds of grain production worldwide is destined for feed and biofuel, driven by carbs and yield. Equinom has seized the moment to design crops for foods that truly satisfy consumer appetites for taste and indulge their senses with appealing textures and aromas.

The Trend

Social, environmental and economic influences and evolving consumer trends are recasting “fads” as “the future,” thus sparking radical transformation in the global food industry. Plant-based foods are dominating the scene, enticing modern-day consumers whose strong ethics greatly influence purchasing decisions.

App-driven

We are reviving characteristics that were lost to industrial breeding, alluring consumers with foods’ true potential. We also design and tailor solutions to the food industry, inside out.
