Safer, Healthier, Upcycled™

2nd Nature™ is transforming Agri-Food Excess (AFE) into ingredients used in everyday products.

trillion USD

of Agri-Food Excess (AFE) is wasted globally;

of global agricultural land is taken up to produce AFE;

of all global greenhouse gas emissions is derived from AFE.

Our Mission

Upcycling Agri-Food Excess (AFE) for Planet, People, and Profit

We uphold two mantras equally at 2nd Nature:

The work we do must benefit our planet:

2nd Nature is committed to fighting climate change and improving planetary health at scale.

Any product we create must benefit people:

We aim to maximize value to our shareholders and stakeholders, turning waste into profit.

Background

AFEs such as the inedible parts, and imperfect produce are generated across the food supply chain. These are 2nd Nature's resources.

Farm 17%

Food Processing 15%

Consumer-facing Businesses 20%

90M tons

of food is wasted annually across the US food supply chain.

Homes 48%

Upcycling waste into profit.

We work with food processors and farmers to source AFEs, turning them into functional ingredients.

About us

2nd Nature integrates AI into Process Engineering.

Cost and quality are our focus. We're building a proprietary AI-powered Process Engineering technology to select high yielding AFE's, further optimizing our production cost and yield consistency.

The main applications of our ingredients:

Home and Personal Care

Health and Wellness

Food and Beverage

We're creating ingredients that benefit people and planet.

Safer and Healthier

By harnessing nature’s power, we generate natural, healthier alternatives to synthetic ingredients.

Regenerative

AFE utilization creates a sustainable supply chain that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and free up agricultural land.

Cost-Competitive

Using AFEs as feedstocks and by deploying AI, we create a less expensive ingredient option than those derived from virgin raw materials.

Founding Team

We are entrepreneurs and life-long students in technology, sustainability, and functional ingredient creation.

Our team has experienced growing businesses from end-to-end. We've built companies from the ground up, produced ingredients at scale, brought them to market, and exited companies.
