What specific problem are you solving?
Desertification is a pressing yet often overlooked global issue, affecting a quarter of the Earth's land—twice the size of Greenland. Coupled with rising global temperatures and a third of the world’s population lacking access to safe drinking water, the urgency for sustainable solutions is clear. Addressing climate change requires rethinking our food systems, particularly our diets.
In our pursuit of resilient, sustainable crops, we discovered tiger nuts—a hardy plant that thrives in arid conditions while reducing both carbon and water footprints. This breakthrough offers a powerful solution to combat desertification and promote environmental sustainability. However, agricultural innovation must be paired with technological and economic support. That’s why we’ve partnered with local professors to explore tiger nuts’ taste, texture, and nutritional potential.
Our research revealed that tiger nuts produce a naturally smooth and creamy dairy alternative. The result is TIGA MILK—a delicious, nutritious, and affordable plant-based milk. Through TIGA MILK, we are setting a new standard for sustainability and social inclusion in the dairy-free industry. Our mission is to build a sustainable business model that contributes to the global movement for climate resilience, food security, and environmental regeneration.
What is your solution?
We have pioneered the use of unique raw materials like odourless, non-GMO soybeans and nutrient-rich tiger nuts to create premium dairy-free products. Using AI detection, we select soybean strains naturally lacking the enzyme responsible for beany aftertaste. Through natural breeding, we develop soybeans that are odourless, non-GMO, and potentially functional—offering benefits like cholesterol reduction.
For tiger nuts, our patented enzymatic extraction technology boosts yield and enhances creaminess, smoothness, and viscosity—ideal for beverages, including coffee. These innovations ensure a superior sensory experience and improved nutritional profile.
Our flagship product, TIGA MILK, is the only plant-based milk that blends tiger nuts, soybeans, and oats. It delivers a taste and texture remarkably close to dairy milk while promoting sustainability and well-being. TIGA MILK addresses common plant milk issues like watery consistency, sedimentation, and poor foaming—making it perfect for the growing sustainable latte art market.
Rich in calcium, antioxidants, and omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, TIGA MILK is free from added sugars and supports cardiovascular and holistic health. By combining breakthrough biotechnology with natural ingredients, we’re redefining plant-based milk with a focus on nutrition, taste, and environmental impact.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Our solution serves diverse communities by offering a nutritionally balanced, delicious, and affordable dairy-free alternative—TIGA MILK. It is designed to meet the dietary needs of the lactose-intolerant population, especially in underserved sectors such as hospitals, elderly homes, children’s institutions, ethnic minority groups, and low-income communities. Rich in calcium and free from added sugars, TIGA MILK supports overall well-being, particularly in cardiovascular and bone health.
We also empower rural farming communities by cultivating non-GMO soybeans and exclusive tiger nuts through fair trade practices. This generates sustainable income, job opportunities, and improved living standards, especially for youth and smallholder farmers. By integrating local sourcing with global food innovation, we foster social inclusion and economic resilience.
Through strategic collaborations with global partners and community stakeholders, we amplify our impact—distributing TIGA MILK widely and tailoring it to local markets. Our participation in forums and global events ensures visibility and the ability to scale our social mission. Ultimately, our solution improves nutrition, promotes sustainability, and fosters equitable economic growth, benefiting both consumers and producers in meaningful, lasting ways.
