"It's a great time to invest in an alternative to cocoa" - Dr. Nadine Geiser, World Fund The cocoa-free chocolate market continues to expand, driven by the growing demand for chocolate products (projected to surpass $250 billion in 2024) and the increasing threats to cocoa supply from climate change. At Planet A Foods, that's exactly why we developed our delicious cocoa-free chocolate alternative ChoViva. It's great to see that World Fund, one of our first investors, foresaw the potential of Planet A Foods and the evolving market landscape already two years ago. 🚀 Thank you Dr. Nadine Geiser for the great interview at your World Fund Conference and World Fund's ongoing support. 💚🍫 #Investment #CocoaFree #WorldFund #PlanetAFoods #MarketGrowth #Sustainability

Deliciously crafted, sustainable food for everyone - starting with 100% cocoa-free chocolate
Info
Imagine a world without chocolate. Horrifying, right? But the supply of cocoa is endangered and chocolate is as bad as meat for our planet. We make future-proof chocolate using precision fermentation. Doing this, our chocolate is 10x more sustainable and 20% cheaper than conventional chocolate. In order to mimic the organoleptic properties of chocolate (tender, smoothly melting taste release) we are working on the flavor itself but also on replacing the cocoa butter. 55 Mio lbs of chocolate are consumed every day. By 2035 we will substitute a big chunk of it through our sustainable chocolate.

🍫🌱 Can you imagine a world without chocolate? We definitely can't! We love chocolate and hope it’ll be available a long time from now. But with current challenges, especially climate change, we need long-term alternatives to ensure people can still enjoy the delicious taste of chocolate in a variety of products now and in the future. This is what the latest episode of the brand new “How We Fix This” podcast hosted by award-winning Hollywood actor Alexander Skarsgård focuses on, powered by Norrsken and Spotify. In this week’s episode, our founders Dr. Maximilian Marquart and Dr. Sara Marquart walk listeners through how they came about the idea of cocoa-free chocolate in the first place - and how the impact of doing this is huge. We’re excited to be a part of this! Thank you to Norrsken, Daniel Goldberg, Sara Kappelmark and the whole team for including us into this great project. 🙌 Enjoy listening and let us know what you think: https://lnkd.in/gVPdd8Ar #Podcast #Norrsken #HowWeFixThis #PlanetAFoods #CocoaFree #ForOurPlanet
