At The Leaf Protein Co. we've always taken a global view of our food systems. Rubisco can be found in any leafy plant material, anywhere in the world. So we've never been hampered by market geographies, and have always received interest from different markets for this unique alternative plant protein. Our CEO recently spoke with Foovo in Japan about the opportunities for our leaf protein ingredients. https://lnkd.in/grepqyhn #leafprotein #globalfoodsystems #plantprotein
