OUR TEAM
WE ARE ‘CRAZY’ ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE WORLD!
“A Small, multidisciplinary team driven by the shared belief that knowledge, dedication, and action can transform systems. Real change doesn't always start with giant corporations—it starts with those who refuse to give up.”
WE ARE LOCOL
In our search for a challenge 'big enough to change the world' and 'tangible enough to solve,' we found it in something remarkably close to home. “Cattle” are at the heart of the global food system, yet they are a major source of methane emissions. We chose Cattle as our challenge and found the answer in Cocoa.
Starting with cocoa waste that held no value to anyone, we spent over two years researching, testing, and developing. In collaboration with experts from Chulalongkorn University and RMUTL Nan, we created something that has never existed before:
A cattle supplement that reduces methane
with zero added cost.
