Nurture

The problem

“Poor nutrition causes nearly half (45 per cent) of deaths in children under five – 3.1 million children each year”
-United Nations

Starts in the fetus

Poor quantity and quality of protein intake by pregnant women leads to IUGR, (Intrauterine Growth Restriction).

Affects Newborns

It critically affects the neurodevelopmental which has long term effects on the child.

Continues on a chain effect

Undernourished Kids with smaller brains will experience difficulties to learn, and fulfil their personal potential. At a macro-level this affects a community or a country’s productivity!

Our Solution

The expected size of our planet's population by 2050 is 10 billion people. The reality is that as it is today, our food system is not sustainable to meet demand growth for the next decades.
So, how do we feed them? Theres is no wrong or right, neither a single answer, but it's clear that:

Transformation is inevitable.
Solutions need to focus on creating more sustainable, dynamic and safe systems.

Innovation in alternative proteins at the service of those more in need.

One of the many solutions and the one we address through Nurture is shifting animal meat consumption, the most resource intensive to produce type of meat, to more sustainable options that still provide a good source of protein and other nutrients available in animal meat.

We are here to feed people in all age groups and gender. Our focus is to be there for women and their baby during and after pregnancy as this is “critical period” in their life where protein intake is essential.

how we do it

Foundational Approach

Due to our belief that this type of innovation in food supply will have a positive effect on the sustainability of our food systems for the long-term we not only want to help by donating food regularly and on demand. On the contrary, our objective is to help local communities, through our charity partners to run the production of the alternative protein food in cases where conditions allow.

"You give a poor man a fish and you feed him for a day. You teach him to fish and you give him an occupation that will feed him for a lifetime." - Chinese Proverb

This would generate work and educational opportunities to the communities, would significantly reduce malnutrition and would even position the communities at the front of food innovation!

Alternative Proteins

Proteins that do not come from meat are typically refer as "alternative proteins". We want to focus on:

Plant-based

Proteins derived from plants, including vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and fruits.
E.g Green Pea, Soya, Seitan, Tofu and Chickpea, among others.

Fermented

Highly absorbable protein that contains bioactive nutrients that boosts digestive health. Fermentation is considered “the future of alternative proteins”.
E.g Fungal-based proteins.

Cultured

Meat produced by in vitro cell culture of animal cells, instead of from scarified animals.
E.g Cultured beef, poultry and seafood.

Insects

Insects are already found in experimental cuisines and boast an eco-friendly reputation. In comparison, crickets are 69% protein, while beef is only 29%.
E.g Freeze-dried cricket powder, ant snacks.

We believe that if food containing these protein are nutritious, far more sustainable to produce than animal meat and in most cases can be produced anywhere regardless of climatic conditions, those living in hunger should be the first people to benefit from this kind of innovation in food supply!
