This week's "Impact Startups to Watch" are transforming the food and agriculture industries with innovative alternatives to traditional coffee and chocolate. As scientists warn, the growing global demand for commodities grown in tropical conditions, such as coffee and cocoa beans, is destroying natural ecosystems and social welfare. Mass production often involves unethical practices, including farmer neglect, child labor, and severe environmental damage like deforestation and increased pesticide use. These startups are pioneering new methods and ingredients that promise to make our favorite treats more environmentally friendly while maintaining great taste, leading the way toward a more sustainable future: 1) Win-Win uses cutting-edge science to convert abundant, affordable and sustainable ingredients into a delicious cocoa-free chocolate that snaps, tastes and melts just like conventional chocolate. 2) Food Brewer is a Swiss-based food ingredients company that uses plant cell cultures. They produce cultivated cocoa and coffee powder, providing food companies with an alternative supply to these tropical crops. 3) Amatera is accelerating the natural evolution of plants to create the coffee and perennial crop varieties of tomorrow. 4) NuKoKo is the new wave of bean-to-bar manufacturing, using faba beans instead of cocoa beans, to naturally create a new type of healthy and sustainable chocolate from better ingredients for humans and the planet. 5) NOUS.Energy is an Italian biotech startup that develops innovative and sustainable ingredients for the Food & Beverage and nutraceuticals industries. Their first, ingredient, Mindave is a caffeine alternative that offers similar beneficial effects, has no drawbacks and is more sustainable than coffee and caffeine. #impactentrepreneurship #alternativecoffee #alternativechocolate #sustainablefood

Today NOUS is on Millionaire. Our CEO Lorenzo talks about our company and our goals after winning the "Io ci credo" call promoted by In Cibum Lab. "Compared to competing products, our active ingredient is almost tasteless, which has the advantage of not masking the taste of the food in which it can be used, has a faster assimilation time and is produced in an environmentally sustainable way". There are still many steps to be taken to achieve our #vision of a company that consciously and respectfully benefits from nature, offering genuine and #healthy products without having a negative impact on the #environment, but instead embracing what it offers us.  The direction is right, now we just need to continue to build the foundations for a solid business that benefits the environment, the people and the community. Every day, #aStepCloser.
