WHAT ELSE?
We never imagined that hops could have such impressive health benefits.
Extensive research and clinical trials have demonstrated that xanthohumol, a flavonoid found in hops and alpha acids, the soft resin that provides bitterness and contributes to hop quality, have enormous potential as essential biocomponents for curing the diseases that cause the most mortality in our time.

Hops also contain 8-prenylnaringenin, the most potent natural phytoestrogen known to relieve the symptoms of menopause and osteoporosis.
The pharmaceutical, cosmetic, nutraceutical, veterinary, functional beverages, and food industries are already exploring and applying its many benefits.
Tailored to your needs.
Free of pathogens and pesticides. Controlled. Replicable. On demand.
These compounds are found in minimal and inconsistent concentrations in traditional agriculture.
Thanks to our unique growing method, we can get the plant to produce the specific concentrations of bioactive components that are particularly applicable to your product.
The benefit of indoor farming
CONTROLLED INDOOR HARVEST
Full traceability from seedling, zero pesticides, customised hop variety
OPTIMISED HARVEST
Perfect timing for maximum bioactive compound concentration
Your active ingredient shouldn’t be left to chance.
When you formulate a serum with “natural xanthohumol-rich hop extract”, you’re betting that the weather was stable, that it was harvested at the optimal time, and that the genetics delivered what you expected.
What you really get: batch-to-batch variability. Reformulations. Delays. Ingredients that don’t meet expectations.
Plants don’t produce bioactive compounds consistently. Unless you know exactly what to modify along the way
We decode the plant to identify preventive biomarkers for hop harvest quality.
An internal metabolomics study has enabled us to identify the key biomarkers at the beginning of flowering.
This means we can be ahead of the harvest and guarantee good hop quality at the end of the season.
In addition, we can adapt our farming method to ensure that the plant produces the bioactive compounds that are particularly suitable for your market.
Traditional farming vs knowledge-based farming.
Conventional outdoor farming |
Our indoor farming |
|---|---|
Varietal choice is limited, performance is highly variable. |
Any variety can be cultivated to fully express its genetic potential. |
Post-harvest analysis: “let’s see what we got” |
Predictive biomarkers: “we know what we’ll get” |
1 harvest/year, high variability |
At scale, as many harvests as necessary, variability <5% |
Farmer experience |
ML models trained with thousands of crops |
Environmental stresses, pests, and diseases |
Germ-free indoor environment, as in a laboratory |
Biotechnology endorsed by the most rigorous standards.
Currently in development with major players in the brewing industry to achieve:
Specific essential oil profiles and high alpha acid quality
Pre-harvest quality prediction using biomarkers based on flower compounds.
Commercially replicable protocols.
What this means for your industry?: if we can guarantee specific concentrations for breweries that produce millions of litres, we can do the same for your 100 kg of cosmetic extract or your nutraceutical batch.
We are seeking two types of partners
01
Social impact investors to achieve our goal of ensuring global hop production while addressing the challenges of climate change and industry needs.
02
Interested clients. We are your supplier of premium hops that make your process predictable.
