The Story Behind Novfeed

Novfeed Story

The Spark of Innovation

Novfeed was founded in 2020 by Mr. Otaigo and Ms. Diana with a bold vision: to transform food waste into sustainable solutions for aquaculture and agriculture. Inspired by the principles of the circular economy, we developed a groundbreaking biotechnology that converts organic waste into high-quality protein for aquaculture and organic fertilizer for farming. Our journey began with a simple question: How can we address the dual challenges of food waste and unsustainable food production? Today, we're proud to offer a solution that not only reduces waste but also supports food security, environmental sustainability, and economic empowerment. From our first pilot project to partnerships with aquaculture farms, every milestone has brought us closer to our goal of creating a world where waste is a resource, and food systems are sustainable. Join us as we continue to innovate and inspire change for a healthier planet.

The Problem We Aim to Solve

Today, over 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted annually, while global demand for protein continues to rise. Traditional aquaculture relies heavily on wild-caught fish and unsustainable feed sources, putting immense pressure on our oceans and ecosystems. Novfeed was founded to tackle these interconnected issues by transforming food waste into valuable resources, ensuring a sustainable future for food production.

The Science Behind Novfeed

At the heart of Novfeed is our groundbreaking biotechnology. Using advanced microbial processes, we convert organic waste into nutrient-rich protein for aquaculture and organic fertilizer for agriculture. This innovative approach not only reduces waste but also provides a sustainable alternative to traditional feed and fertilizers, creating a closed-loop system that benefits both people and the planet.

Technology & Innovation

Core Innovations: Turning Waste into Resources

At Novfeed, we're redefining sustainability with our proprietary biotechnology that transforms organic waste into high-quality protein for aquaculture and organic fertilizer for agriculture. Our innovative process uses microbial fermentation to break down food waste, creating a closed-loop system that benefits both the environment and the economy.

How It Works

1

Waste Collection

We source organic waste from market places (food processing plants, agricultural residues, or urban waste streams.)

2

Microbial Fermentation

Using specially engineered microorganisms, we break down the waste into its core nutrients.

3

Product Creation

The nutrients are then processed into high-quality protein for aquaculture feed and organic fertilizer for farming, ensuring zero waste and maximum efficiency.

For Aquaculture

  • Provides a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to traditional fishmeal.
  • Improves fish health and growth rates due to high nutrient content.
  • Reduces reliance on wild-caught fish, preserving marine ecosystems.

For Agriculture

  • Offers an organic fertilizer that enhances soil health and crop yields.
  • Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, promoting sustainable farming practices.

For Environment

  • Diverts organic waste from landfills, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Supports a circular economy by turning waste into valuable resources.
  • Lowers the carbon footprint of food production systems.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Is Scalable: Can be adapted to different regions and waste streams.
  • Is Sustainable: Creates zero waste and reduces environmental impact.
  • Is Efficient: Produces high-quality products at a lower cost than conventional alternatives.
