Business:Entrepreneurship
We lack bees, we lack insects and it's a severe issue for biodiversity. Because flowers are dependent on insects and vice versa, right?
So if you eat traditional honey, are you promoting bee health? No, large-scale monoculture is an issue in crop agriculture and beekeeping.
Hear from Darko Madrich, the co-founder and CEO of Melibio. I got to try their plant-based honey in Switzerland last year. And it tasted so similar I wondered whether they had just poured some natural honey into the bottle.
By the way, whenever I meet Darko, I feel his spirit animal would be a giant bumblebee. He has that vibe.
Anyway, Instead of using something like rice syrup, Melibio uses the compounds found in honey. Re-building it from the ground up.
In the future, they want to use precision fermentation to add a few compounds that are hard to replace. But is that necessary?
