How Maltento Seeks To Restore The Global Food Supply Imbalance
How Maltento Seeks To Restore The Global Food Supply Imbalance. Inspired by insects, Maltento creates clean, traceable, consistent, functional-plus nutrition solutions for the future. The company’s approach is regenerative: it minimises its impact on scarce natural resources and maximise the use of natural, traceable co-products from agroprocessing industries to restore the balance of the planet.
Maltento aims to mimick nature’s ingenious design; developing functional compounds that improve quality-of-life for animals and plants. By working alongside bold-thinking teams with a common purpose, it is actively striving to restore the global food supply imbalance. The company is deeply curious in its quest to unlock the functional benefits of insect-based biotechnology.
The company’s ultimate goal is to provide a more effective, functional, sustainable and therefore more desirable feed inclusion at the lowest environmental cost. The company cherry-picks leading industry experts to work alongside it across its business. On the input side, it partners with some of SA’s top food producers to solve some of their co-product problems. External specialists help provide the right nutrition for the company’s insects, ensuring a completely consistent product.
On the feed side, Maltento collaborates with Urban Farmer and Nutrition Hub who support it in optimising its internal feed conversion rates, and facilitating product/portfolio expansion for its clients. The company partners with many of the “Woolworths Farming for the Future” initiatives in an attempt to increase yield quality at the lowest environmental cost.
“We develop clean, consistent, functional compounds and ingredients that outperform current protein inclusions. By unlocking the functional benefits of insects through biotechnology, we can create functional-plus feed solutions, beyond just protein options that are better for our animals, soils and precious planet. The potential is to maximise natural functional compounds, that have never been exposed to anti-biotics and growth hormones, to assist with key issues such as allergies, inflammation and gut health. Moreover, we work in a regenerative way with minimal impact on our earth’s natural resources.” the company said on its website.
