Aviaja Riemann-Andersen: Circular Food Technology
Upcycling spent beer grains to create new food ingredients to reduce food waste and associated emissions
Aviaja Riemann-Anderson is CEO and Co-Founder of Agrain by Circular Food Technology. Aviaja works towards creating a circular food economy, where respect for the planet goes hand in hand with sustainable business and delicious food.
Circular Food Technology is disrupting the food system by upcycling spent beer grains into new food ingredients using a sustainable model. Every year 200 billion litres of beer are produced globally, which results in the co-production of masses of spent grains as a byproduct of the process. These spent grains are high in fibre and protein, meaning they can be used as healthy food ingredients instead of going to waste. Circular Food Technology is using these spent grains to make their super grain flour, Agrain.
It is estimated that 1kg of high fibre, high protein Agrain super grain flour emits 30% less CO2 than producing 1kg of Danish wheat flour.
