Our purpose : fight food waste through super-food ingredients

Environmental Stewardship:

More than 1/3 of all food produced globally goes to waste. We waste not just food, but all the natural resources which go into producing it.

Food production has a massive impact on the environment. In fact, how we produce and consume food is the biggest threat to our planet today, using lots of water, carbon or pesticides.

From farm to fork, food is wasted at every step of the journey - up to 1.3 billion tons every year. 

To really have a positive impact on the planet and specially on Food Waste, we created IO, conscious allies helping you shine from within, by enhancing super-food ingredients that are currently wasted or under-estimated. It all started with Dates, whose usually unused cores have been shown to have incredible anti-oxidant properties
