Future of food
Future of food

What if the future of food is hiding in what we throw away? Every time we process peas, lentils, or faba beans for protein, up to 50% of the biomass is left behind. This isn’t waste, it’s untapped potential. That fibrous pulp, resistant starch, and rich mix of bioactives? It’s a goldmine of prebiotic fibres, natural emulsifiers, antioxidants, and clean-label functional ingredients. Imagine transforming these overlooked side-streams into:
- Gut-friendly food ingredients
- Sustainable animal feed or soil inputs
- Natural preservatives that extend shelf life
- Texturizers or fat replacers for next-gen plant-based foods
Could you design a solution that gives these by-products new life, and drives a circular, regenerative food future? Now’s your chance. Join the Geek4Food Foodathon and help turn food waste into food value. Let’s reimagine what’s possible when we stop thinking of by-products as leftovers, and start seeing them as building blocks.
