Luya
The Bern-based food tech start-up Luya Foods has developed a fermentation technology that transforms by-products such as okara, a residue from tofu production, into high-quality, natural protein alternatives. Luya thus saves tonnes of valuable food by-products, reduces its carbon footprint and offers delicious, climate-friendly products that are available at Coop and in ZFV canteens. With its licensing model for Luya fermentation cabinets, the company aims to enable producers worldwide to utilise their own by-products directly on site, thus pioneering the future of a more sustainable food system.
