WHAT WE DO
A team of researchers, scientists, and advocates for a generative future working to develop sustainable practices with the help of existing botanical technologies. All this in an effort to perdure our species and planet to a point where humans and our natural environments can live and thrive in symbiosis.
We believe that we are on the brink of what we like to refer to as a plant renaissance. As co-pioneers of this age, we look to nature for solutions to many of the problems we face today.
By studying the complex technology inherent to botanical ecosystems and in partnership with top botanical scientists in South Africa, we have been able to develop our first product. Our aim was to mimic the natural immune systems inherent to food that is grown in the soil. We have achieved an ad hoc solution designed to preserve these immune systems past the point of harvest, where the produce would otherwise no longer have the tools to defend against harmful pathogens and spoiling microbes allowing it to stay healthier for longer periods.
OUR PROCESS
Our goal is not to overcome nature, but to regain a partnership with it.
BIOMIMICRY
There is enough evidence that the earth is a highly sophisticated and functional ecosystem. In reverence of this complexity and in pursuit of its execution we aim to constantly learn from and consult the schematics that surround us in nature and use them to improve our own ecosystems.
RIGOROUS SCIENCE
While we look to nature for our inspiration and guidance, this by no means deviates us from basing our work on fact and hard science. We commit to ensuring that the efficacy of our work is tested and that our development is done in controlled and procedurally sound environments.
SENSE-MAKING
In a world where dominant paradigms of thought may have misled the public around best practices, for humans and the environment, we believe it is important to disrupt these paradigms where they may be mistaken, and use science to direct our communal narrative back to an equilibrium that is honest and sustainable.
