Our Food System is Broken
60% of small farmers live in poverty in Latinamerica.
Agricultural waste generates 40% of CO₂ emissions in rural areas.
Mexico ranks first in childhood obesity and second in adult obesity, with diabetes as the country’s second leading cause of death.
Our Key Resource
Upcycling Agricultural Waste into Healthier Ingredients
“Every year, millions of tons of agricultural waste are burned, contributing to harmful emissions. At Creative Food Labs, we’re giving this ‘waste’ a second life. Using non-GMO yeasts and precision fermentation, we transform agricultural byproducts into sustainable sugar alternatives like xylitol, helping to break the cycle of harmful food production and consumption.”
Switching to CFL’s xylitol:
Prevents the contamination and burning of agricultural waste, reducing up to 980 tons of CO₂ emissions per year—equivalent to taking over 210 cars off the road.
Provides an income source to rural farmers by purchasing agricultural waste—projected to support over 400 farmers by 2027.
Reduces the risk of metabolic diseases like diabetes and obesity, with an estimated 38 million people benefitting from reduced health risks if xylitol replaces sugar in Mexico.
Rethinking Ingredients,
Reducing Harm
“We don’t just create ingredients; we create circular solutions that benefit people and the planet. Our innovative platform transforms waste into sustainable ingredients, replacing unhealthy sugars and trans fats and addressing the root problems of waste and pollution in the food industry.”
Our fermentation platform:
Reduces CO₂ emissions by recycling 700 tons of agricultural waste annually.
Incorporates non-GMO yeasts, creating ingredients that prioritize health and sustainability.
SDGs: Scaling Impact as We Grow
Providing additional income sources to rural farmers by purchasing their agricultural waste.
Recycling agricultural waste and reducing emissions to promote a circular economy.
Producing ingredients that help mitigate diseases like diabetes and obesity
Pioneering Sustainable
Food Systems
“At Creative Food Labs, we are reimagining the way food ingredients are produced, focusing on health and sustainability through a fully circular value chain. By harnessing the potential of agricultural waste, we create innovative ingredients that contribute to people’s well-being and reduce environmental harm—paving the way for a healthier, more sustainable food system.”
