Meet our Nominees💡💚 – Part 1 In dieser Reihe präsentieren wir euch jede Woche einen Teil unserer Nominierten. Bereit? Den Start machen Algrano, New Roots AG, YASAI und ZiZANIA Biobotanica. Die 4 Unternehmen zeigen, wie Nachhaltigkeit und ökonomischer Erfolg in der Food-Branche gehen.   Algrano – Online-Marketplace für Rohkaffee Algrano vernetzt Kaffeeproduzentinnen direkt mit Röstern. Das Ergebnis? Fairere Preise für Produzentinnen, transparentere Lieferketten für Röster, 3x höherer Anteil an zertifiziertem Kaffee im Vergleich zum Branchendurchschnitt.   New Roots – Pflanzenbasierte Käse- und Molkereiprodukte  New Roots entwickelt, produziert und verkauft pflanzliche und proteinreiche Käse- und Molkereialternativen. Dabei setzt New Roots auf traditionelle Schweizer Herstellverfahren – damit die Produkte dem Original im Geschmack in nichts nachstehen. YASAI – Indoor Vertical Farming von Kräutern Landwirtschaft neu gedacht: YASAI kultiviert Kräuter gestapelt in Innenräumen, verbraucht dabei 95% weniger Wasser und erreicht bis zu 200x mehr Ertrag pro Quadratmeter. ZiZAN!A Biobotanica – Swiss Clean Beauty  Zizanias Produkte kann man weder essen noch trinken. Was das Unternehmen trotzdem mit Food zu tun hat? ZiZAN!A transformiert Pflanzenreste, die durch die Produktion von Saatgut entstehen, in Kosmetikprodukte. So wird beispielsweise der Saft von Tomaten zum hochwertigen Kosmetikprodukt. Die Ernährung ist für rund 16% der Emissionen im Konsum verantwortlich (Quelle: WWF Switzerland). Umso wichtiger, dass wir handeln. Danke für eure inspirierenden Lösungen! 💚
