Healthy Seeds

Healthy Seeds
Wroclaw, Poland

THE INNOVATION:

Healthy Seeds is a plant-based yogurt producer that was inspired by the founder, Elzbieta Henn’s, own experiences with dairy allergies. Elzbieta began experimenting with alternative yogurt formulas using grains and ingredients such as coconut milk, flax seed, millet and hemp seeds, and eventually moved from experimental production at home to commercial production at scale. This required Elzbieta to leave behind her career in finance to take on the challenge of bringing a new product to the market. Healthy Seeds maintains a zero-waste philosophy at procurement, production and consumption levels; the production process is waste-free, and the yogurts are packaged in reusable glass jars.

LOOKING AHEAD:

Healthy Seeds is currently focusing on the market in Wroclaw, and would like to expand their product range to provide a comprehensive assortment of plant-based yogurt, dressings and sauces for example (maturing). In the future, upscaling to other areas of Poland may also be of interest, leveraging on citizen support and new partnerships.

Info about the Innovators and the Innovation portraits Catalogue

FoodSHIFT 2030 aims to launch an ambitious citizen-driven transition of the European food system towards a low carbon circular future, including a shift to less meat and more plant based diets. This transition is necessary in order to address the pressing challenges for food and nutrition security, contribute to the EU commitment of reducing GHG emissions by at least 40% by 2030, and revitalize urban-rural linkages and partnerships.

To do so, it establishes FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs for maturing, combining, upscaling and multiplying existing food system innovations across nine front-runner city-regions. In turn these innovations contribute to the FoodSHIFT vision.

An Innovation Catalogue called “Innovation Portraits” was created to snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions.

Info about the Innovation Portraits Catalogue

The Innovation Catalogue will snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions. Each FAL has a dedicated innovation focus and each chapter will present innovation cases from a particular FAL. For each of the innovations presented, a snapshot of the innovation concept and purpose will be given, alongside the key impacts the innovation has in relation to the FoodSHIFT Impact Pathways and the acceleration ambitions of the innovation.

In addition, each innovation portrait is also categorized according to its Innovation Dimension. These dimensions indicate what kind of innovation is being presented, and where in the value chain it plays a role. This is indicated by these tabs. The dimensions are defined as follows:

Product – Innovations in this category address new or updated products, including quality, safety and market impact.

Process – These innovations are relevant to new technologies for processing, logistical improvements, infrastructure and new/improved services.

Social – Innovations in this category are relevant to changes in behaviour (e.g. consumers/citizens), development of new relationships and inclusiveness.

Governance – The innovations address policy developments, including food planning, subsidies, taxing, certificates & labelling.
