Vigna

About the team

We jointly bring complementary expertise to ensure high-quality products and services for the sustainability and resilience of food systems, both from technical and operational standpoints.

Our vision

Our food systems face unprecedented challenges due to climate change, necessitating crops that are resilient, sustainable, and diverse. The Vigna genus, a treasure trove of underutilized legume crops, offers a powerful solution. From drought tolerance to nitrogen-fixing properties, Vigna species are uniquely equipped to address the interconnected crises of food insecurity, soil degradation, and climate stress. However, these crops remain overlooked and underutilized, limiting their potential to transform agriculture in a warming world. Our vision is to unlock the full potential of Vigna to build climate-smart food systems. By championing Vigna as a superfood hero, we aim to diversify global diets, enhance farmer incomes, and foster agricultural resilience. From plant-based milk to sustainable coffee alternatives, we envision a future where Vigna is at the heart of sustainable and innovative food systems, nourishing people and the planet for generations to come.

Our solution

Our solution leverages the untapped diversity of the Vigna genus to produce and valorize innovative, climate-resilient food products. With its exceptional adaptability and nutritional value, Vigna offers a sustainable alternative to traditional crops, making it a cornerstone for building climate-smart food systems. We focus on transforming Vigna into market-ready products that cater to modern consumer needs while promoting sustainability. Our product line includes plant-based milk from Bambara groundnut, a lactose-free and nutrient-rich option for health-conscious consumers. Vigna trilobata is reimagined as a superfood for salads, offering high protein and exceptional flavor. Sustainable coffee alternatives derived from Vigna marina provide a unique, eco-friendly choice, and mungbean-based foods address digestive health with their anti-bloating properties. Our approach integrates state-of-the-art processing techniques, sustainable sourcing, and robust market research to create high-quality products that resonate with global consumers. By showcasing Vigna’s versatility, we aim to expand its presence in the food industry, diversifying diets and offering resilient solutions for farmers and food systems. Through strategic partnerships and an unwavering commitment to innovation, we position Vigna as a transformative force in addressing the dual challenges of climate change and global food security.
