Our investment decision is guided by a wish to enhance employees’ wellbeing and strengthen their connection to the rest of nature, fostering greater awareness and interest in ecosystems and the climate. From this point of departure, we aim to create ripple effects in behavior and highlight the importance of larger scale biodiversity.
Fælleshaven plants flower beds and fruit orchards, builds green, outdoor meeting spaces and set up kitchen gardens with vegetables and herbs for company canteens. Besides the landscaping, Fælleshaven also enable engagement through outdoor activities where employees can learn about native species, collect seeds, or extract honey.
Fælleshaven aims to improve the wellbeing of employees and increase their connection to the rest of nature, and thereby heighten awareness of and interest in nature, ecosystems, and the climate, to create ripple effects in behaviour and awareness of the importance of biodiversity from this point of departure.
Our investment decision is guided by a wish to promote sustainable farming practices by increasing the availability of high-quality agricultural input that can boost biodynamic and organic farmers’ competitiveness compared to conventional practices.
Nordic Microbes produces locally sourced all-natural, microbial products, that can help farmers achieve a higher and better yield while improving soil health and resilience through sustainable agricultural practices.
Using a device called the microbeTRAP, which helps identify local, beneficial microbes and grow the microbes using simple, natural ingredients like organic sugar and potatoes. These microbes are then used to enhance soil fertility and plant health naturally, which helps transform poor, degraded land into fertile, productive fields without the harmful side-effects of conventional fertilizers.
Our investment decision is guided by a wish to support the development of knowledge, expertise, and applications of the >1.3 million fungi strands, that are still unused in industry but holding enormous potential for sustainable solutions to a wide range of waste and pollution problems.
Novobiom leverages its deep expertise in fungi and biomimicry to harness some of the 1.3 million known fungi strains, the vast majority of which remain untapped in industrial applications, to provide bioremediation services for contaminated soils and other waste.
Novobiom's approach to waste management uses fungal biotechnology to convert waste into valuable resources. This process mimics natural recycling processes, contributing to turning an escalating and increasingly dangerous global waste problem into new resources. They currently work within soil remediation, textile recycling, and circularity in cosmetics.
Our investment decision is guided by a wish to support the transition to a plant-centered food system, by enhancing the flavour of plant-based meals while steering clear of highly processed and chemical additives. In this quest, Nutrumami’s natural, flavor-enhancing, salt-reducing, B12-vitamin and calcium rich additive is key.
Nutrumami uses a patented cross-fermentation technology with fava beans to create a natural additive for plant-based foods. This additive enhances flavor, reduces salt, and offers health benefits including B12 vitamins and calcium.
Through their products, Nutrumami addresses the challenge of enhancing the taste of plant-based foods without resorting to unhealthy additives, aiming to make these foods more appealing and nutritious. By partnering with global food corporations, Nutrumami is working to make the way to a more delicious and healthy plant-centric diet as short as possible for as many as possible.
Our investment decision is guided by a wish to address the issues related to the increasing e-commerce industry, by reducing the environmental footprint of the billions of packaging items that are used.
Re-Zip offers circular packaging that can be reused up to 30 times, ensuring easy returns and maintaining quality through ongoing cleaning and quality assurance.
Re-Zip’s envelopes are designed to be used up to 30 times, and can in that case offer water savings of 54% and GHG emissions of 67%, as compared to standard single-use alternatives.By significantly reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption needed in the production of their packaging, compared to single-use alternatives, Re-Zip addresses one aspect of the environmental challenges of the growing online shopping sector.
Our investment decision is guided by a wish to support the revitalization of depleted soils in the Global South, generating sustainable increases in agricultural yield, while activating the carbon-binding qualities of GRF that appear when applied in warm climates.
Ten thousand years ago, as glaciers from the last ice age receded from the northern hemisphere, they left behind nutrient-rich glacial rock flour, significantly enriching the soil. This natural bounty created exceptionally favorable conditions for agriculture, giving the northern hemisphere a lasting advantage that has shaped human development and contributed to today’s disparities.
Geologist Minik Rosing and his team have discovered that Greenlandic rock flour (GRF), found abundantly as of today in the melting waters, landscapes, and shores around glaciers, possesses these same beneficial qualities. The Rock Flour Company has demonstrated that treating depleted soils in warm climates with GRF can significantly increase agricultural yields. What makes GRF particularly remarkable is its dual role as a natural, highly effective fertilizer and a powerful long-term carbon sequestration agent, capable of storing carbon for up to 100,000 years when applied in warm climates.
Our investment decision is guided by a wish to support sustainable water practices in agriculture, to both avoid excessive water use and enhance yield and soil health, prevent crop loss, supporting sustainable farming practices.
SoilSense offers an intelligent decision support system for irrigation, utilizing scientifically proven digital soil moisture sensors to help growers save water, optimize yields, and prevent crop loss.
Recognizing the increasing challenges posed by climate change, SoilSense enables farmers, especially in water-scarce regions, to make optimal irrigation decisions.
