Grass to Human Food
Turning what was once inedible into a breakthrough solution for hunger..
The Problem
In 2023 alone, more than 9 million people died due to hunger-related causes — more than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. Meanwhile, 735 million people continue to suffer from food insecurity across the world.
Despite this crisis, grass — one of the most abundant natural resources — remains untapped as a source of human nutrition. It grows in every region, in every season. But until now, it’s been biologically inaccessible to humans.
Our Innovation
We are developing a powerful, science-backed process that transforms raw grass into edible flour by breaking down the tough plant fiber (cellulose and lignin) into a consumable percentage suitable for the human body.
The result is a nutrient-dense flour that can be blended with as little as 10–20% maize flour to create common meals like ugali, porridge, or flatbreads.
This innovation is simple, scalable, and made for real-world use — especially for vulnerable communities facing drought, high food costs, and crop failure..
Why It Matters
1. Reduces hunger using a low-cost, hyper-abundant resource
2. Offers an alternative to conventional food systems
3. Strengthens food security in rural and under-resourced regions
4.Represents a climate-resilient solution for future generations
What’s Next
We’re preparing for the official launch in September 2025, with plans to roll out the first flour-based products and begin small-scale distribution in high-need areas.
The full breakdown of our method remains protected — but every prototype brings us closer to a world where grass can help end hunger.
