Leaf Foods is a purpose-driven business determined to restore Earth’s balance by how we farm and produce food – what we call our “why.” Our 20-year vision is to be the world's most efficient food system driving environmental and human health. Our novel technology extracts protein from green leaves. We’re separating a protein called Rubisco, which is the most abundant protein on the planet and responsible for photosynthesis. It’s an incredible food ingredient, so we’re using leaf protein to develop a range of foods that lift people out of the cycle of dissatisfaction with the existing plant- and animal-based proteins. Whether for taste, digestion, nutrition, or environmental reasons, we're excited about the possibilities leaf protein unlocks for eaters worldwide. In 2022, we raised $15M USD in Series A funding, led by Silicon Valley-based Khosla Ventures, with participation from Ngāi Tahu Holdings via their New Economy mandate, ACC’s Climate Change Impact Fund, and NBA basketballer.
