Sustainability From Soil to Oil
Sustainability is making the most of today’s resources without compromising future generations’ ability to meet their own needs.
Plant-to-Plant Biotechnology
Nutriterra addresses the world’s shortage of total omega-3 nutrition with sophisticated plant-to-plant biotechnology. Microalgae are unicellular aquatic plants with the incredible ability to transform sunshine into long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA). Adding microalgae genetics to canola provides the pathway to create LC-PUFA including DHA and EPA in a sustainable, plant-based crop. The ocean is no longer the only source for these essential nutrients.
Sustainable Development Goals
Nutriterra is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals to make positive social, environmental, and economic impacts. Nutriterra applies advanced plant genetics to preserve ocean resources, rebuild soil, improve farmer livelihoods, and nourish people.
Zero Hunger
Nutriterra provides total omega-3 without marine ingredients, leaving more fish in the sea for human consumption. Grain crops following a canola rotation increase yields.
Good Health
More than 80% of people are consuming less omega-3 than is ideal for supporting healthy eyes, brains, and hearts.* Nutriterra makes omega-3 nutrition more accessible and palatable than ever before, with a source of omega-3 that is plant-based, fish-free, and has a neutral taste.
Innovation
Nuseed’s strategic commitment of providing world-changing solutions through the power of plants means innovating crops that impact global environmental issues.
Life Below Water
Nutriterra provides more total omega-3 than 10,000kg of fish, without disrupting natural habitats to source this vital nutrient.
Life on Land
Nutriterra grows on existing US farmland under strict stewardship standards. Grower contracts provide economic security to ensure sustainable incomes.
Scaling Efficiently
Nutriterra can double the world’s supply of omega-3 nutrition on less than 5% of current canola-producing land. Omega-3 canola is processed using the same infrastructure and facilities as conventional canola, simplifying Nutriterra’s growth and delivery to the market.
Nutriterra’s source crop is raised on sunshine and rain, making production much less resource-intensive than algal oil. And growing omega-3 canola releases 94.5% less GHG than harvesting marine resources by boat.
