Leveraging technology
to eradicate food insecurity
The Current Climate
- Climate change, changing culinary preferences, and changing global macroeconomics are disrupting our food systems like never before!
- These changes have created a vast market for alternatives, especially the root vegetable cassava.
- Cassava is particularly remarkable because it has incredible climate-resilient, health, and taste properties, making it an ideal alternative to grains like wheat and maize.
Problem
- Despite cassava’s amazing benefits, the tuber spoils only 3 days after harvest, with over 50% of the global annual harvest lost on average, stifling its potential as a grain alternative, consequently creating a significant unmet market need.
Our Innovation
- At CassVita, we have invented a simple process for increasing the shelf-life of cassava from 3 days to 18 months. With our technology, farmers lose 0% of their harvest and are able to increase their incomes.
- In addition, we transform cassava in our fully-automated facilities into fufu, flour, starch, and animal feed, and sell to some of the world’s biggest multinationals including Nestle.
