PURIS Holdings and LIVEKINDLY Collective Announce Joint Ventures to Lay the Foundation for a Global Regenerative Plant-Based Future


PURIS Holdings, an early and innovative pioneer in plant-based food systems, today announced two new joint ventures with LIVEKINDLY Collective, a collection of heritage and start-up brands on track to become one of the world's largest plant-based food companies. Combining PURIS' proven expertise in plant-based food development with LIVEKINDLY Collective's network of global leaders in the plant-based space, the companies aim to accelerate adoption of plant-based nutrition by solving some of the biggest challenges in the supply chain, working with an ultimate mission to pave the path for a more sustainable food system.

"The plant-based food industry is experiencing unparalleled growth, on track to hit $85 billion by 2030, and the full supply chain must scale along with it," said Nicole Atchison, CEO of PURIS Holdings. "Joining forces with LIVEKINDLY Collective allows us to push all parts of the industry forward, ensuring it scales sustainably and affordably. Both LIVEKINDLY Collective and PURIS believe in a future where our food system is a force for good ? benefiting people and planet."

PURIS Holdings and LIVEKINDLY Collective have formed two joint ventures aimed at addressing sustainable food at scale:

"What got us here won't take us where we need to go," said Mark Hassenkamp, Chief Agriculture Operations Director of LIVEKINDLY Collective. "We are facing an existential question of how to feed ourselves in the face of growing demand, diminishing resources and the need for sustainability. Together with PURIS, we can accelerate the growing global plant-based food conversion by realizing seed to silo cost efficiencies, leveraging unique germplasm, digital tools and operational scale to grow more clean, affordable, high quality food."

"LIVEKINDLY Collective and PURIS Holdings are mission-aligned on the need for transformation of the global food system to one that supports the health of people and protects the planet," said Kees Kruythoff, CEO and Chairman of LIVEKINDLY Collective. "We are excited to bring our strengths together to accelerate the production and accessibility of plant-based products at scale."

As part of the mission to introduce protein-rich, sustainable crops globally, PURIS and LIVEKINDLY Collective are first working in Southern Africa, where PURIS' pea variety has excelled in early trials. Additionally, the pair will be accelerating development on innovative processes and food products that deliver on affordability, sustainability, and nutrition within the plant-based meat and dairy spaces.
