"It's worth noting that we've been compared to global start-ups with much larger branding budgets"

Founder, Daisy Lab
Daisy Lab is a New Zealand-based precision fermentation food technology start-up, pioneering a novel approach to dairy production—without the need for cows. Using precision fermentation, they harness microorganisms to create dairy proteins, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional dairy farming.
This technology, highlighted by ReThink X as a key disruptor for the food industry in the coming decade, presents a bold solution to New Zealand’s heavy reliance on dairy farming. With the environmental impact of livestock farming contributing to nearly half of the country’s emissions, Daisy Lab is on a mission to reduce this burden while maintaining New Zealand’s global reputation for high-quality dairy products.
By leveraging New Zealand’s expertise in food manufacturing, Daisy Lab aims to create delicious, eco-friendly dairy alternatives that pave the way for a more sustainable future.
