Forty percent of the food produced around the globe currently goes to waste according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. At the same time, nutrition gaps and food insecurity continue to persist, even in the United States, where more than 30 percent of the population is considered undernourished while also either obese or overweight. This paradox of our food system producing more waste than ever, yet still not providing adequate nutrition demonstrates the need for innovation. At Comet Bio, we are working to address both challenges by extracting nutrition from food system waste. Our proprietary upcycling technology produces novel ingredients with enormous nutritious potential while simultaneously addressing critical environmental challenges.
