Breakthrough innovation & investments with NuFrontiers

In 2018, Nutreco took a bold step in creating a new team focused on strategic innovation and investments. Called NuFrontiers, its objective is to identify, develop and invest in next-generation breakthrough innovations throughout the protein value chain.

NuFrontiers focuses on new technologies that address major bottlenecks and opportunities across our value chain and that could ultimately change the way food is produced, including by significantly reducing its environmental footprint.

Science-based innovation
