Transforming Organic Waste into Sustainable Solutions Since 2020
"To create a future where waste is a resource, aquaculture thrives on sustainable protein, and agriculture flourishes with organic solutions, ensuring a healthier planet and food-secure communities."
"Novfeed is revolutionizing food systems by converting food waste into sustainable, high-quality protein for aquaculture and organic fertilizer, driving food security, environmental sustainability, and agricultural innovation."
We are committed to creating solutions that protect and preserve our environment for future generations.
We constantly explore new ideas and technologies to improve our products and processes.
We believe in creating positive impact for the communities we serve and work with.
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.
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.
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.

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.
We source organic waste from market places (food processing plants, agricultural residues, or urban waste streams.)
Using specially engineered microorganisms, we break down the waste into its core nutrients.
The nutrients are then processed into high-quality protein for aquaculture feed and organic fertilizer for farming, ensuring zero waste and maximum efficiency.
