Alpine Bio

We’re excited to share that we have recently achieved our largest planting to date. This all began with asking a question that was, at the time, deemed absurd:  Could dairy proteins be grown in plants? The answer was “Yes.” The result of pursuing that answer, day in and day out for the last eight years, is millions of soybean seeds now growing on a farm in the Midwest. Each one with the capacity to produce the dairy protein casein–proof positive that scalable molecular farming has become a reality. 🔓 Milestone Unlocked: Our biomanufacturing platform, which allows us to grow critical proteins like casein at scale, has now increased its output potential exponentially. 🚜 A profoundly appreciative thank you to NEXAT. By collaborating with the NEXAT team and using their state-of-the-art modular vehicle, we were able to ensure that our planting process was resource-efficient, caused reduced soil compaction, and produced fewer emissions. 🌱 While this planting is a momentous step forward, it’s still just the beginning. We’ve tested over 1,000 unique strategies to accumulate various proteins in plants, and are actively expanding our platform even further. #molecularfarming #biomanufacturing #innovation

At Alpine Bio we are on a mission to transform plants into the world's most efficient protein factories. If you just learned about us, or are catching up, here's a quick recap of what we've been up to since we started. #AgTech #FoodScience #MolecularFarming #Sustainability #Innovation

Building new green infrastructure is critical to creating a better future and a more livable planet. But so is unlocking the potential of what we already have. By transforming soybean farms into powerful protein factories, we’re not just planting seeds—we’re optimizing existing agricultural infrastructure to achieve better climate outcomes and provide farmers with value-added crops. When it comes to the soybean plant, America’s #2 crop, the potential is immense. #AgTech #FoodScience #MolecularFarming #Sustainability #Innovation

It's always nice to show up in Forbes. Thanks to Steven Savage for featuring our work in this in-depth article on the storied history and growing importance of soybeans in the U.S. economy. https://lnkd.in/gMJUkJM5 #MolecularFarming #AgTech #Innovation #Sustainability

An excellent new paper from Mark and Virginia Messina has been published in Frontiers in Plant Science. It explores the potential of how soybean-derived casein can revolutionize cheese production and is well worth a read. Our key takeaways: 💪 There's a growing need for increased plant protein consumption being driven by health and sustainability concerns. 🧀 The current range of available plant-based cheeses face challenges in taste, texture, and nutritional value, which limits their appeal. 🌱 Producing casein in soybeans can create cheese that combines the best of both worlds: plant-based sustainability with dairy-like properties. 👩🌾 Soybean-derived casein offers farmers an opportunity to grow a value-added crop, which will benefit both consumers and the agricultural community.
