Our Impact Story

Transforming Waste Into Food Security

Every year, South Africa discards over 10 million tons of agricultural waste while more than 10 million people face food insecurity. We saw a solution hiding in plain sight.

At MycoFeeds, we've pioneered an innovative process that transforms agricultural waste—sugarcane bagasse, maize stalks, and sawdust—into premium growing substrates for oyster mushrooms. These protein-rich, nutrient-dense mushrooms grow quickly and require minimal resources, making them an ideal solution for addressing hunger while protecting our environment.

Our approach creates a circular economy: farmers' waste becomes our raw material, our spent substrate becomes compost, and communities gain access to affordable, nutritious food. It's not just farming—it's a revolution in sustainable food production.
