Vision

Securing the stability of our global food system through environmentally resilient and affordable plant protein ingredients.

Approach

NuCicer, an agri-food technology company, is pioneering ultra-high protein chickpeas with 75% more protein than conventional varieties, unlocking the potential of chickpea protein to become a scalable, affordable foundation for a sustainable plant-based future. NuCicer’s technology harnesses the rich natural biodiversity from wild chickpea crops and uses cutting-edge, genome-guided breeding to create value throughout the food system. This spans improving agronomic traits such as environmental resilience and yield, seed characteristics supporting primary processing, and increasing protein content to bring down the cost of production.
