Farmless careers

Farmless uses natural fermentation and a renewable-energy based feedstock to produce amino acid complete protein ingredient. We're a small, highly technical team with diverse background (Vegetarian Butcher, Noma, Fastned) from all over the world. Our mission is to decouple protein production from agricultural land and dramatically shrink the footprint of agriculture in our lifetime.

We have collapsed whole protein production process into a single brewery. We use bacteria to turn simple feedstocks into complex proteins using fermentation (like we've been doing for millennia with wine, beer, bread, etc).

While practically all fermentation methods up till now relied on sugars - which are derived from crops grown on agricultural land - we based our fermentation platform on an easily storable and shippable liquid feedstock which can be made from the air with just renewable energy. This allows us to circumvent the inefficiency of photosynthesis and break free of its limiting constraints.

The result of our ambition should be visible from space. What we are building is the successor to the Haber-Bosch process. While Haber-Bosch led to cheap synthetic fertilizer which currently feeds half of humanity, we have found a way to produce amino acid complete proteins up to ±5000X more land efficient than animals.
