Novonesis blends legacy and innovation to help food and beverage manufacturers thrive through sustainably.
“At Novonesis, we believe biology is the key to unlocking a sustainable future for our industry,” says Lisa Flower, head of marketing food and beverages Oceania. “Our mission is to help producers get more from what they have – boosting yield, improving quality, and reducing dependence on artificial additives – so they can deliver food that meets environmental goals and changing consumer needs.”
Sustainability in food and beverage is evolving from an industry aspiration to a necessity, says Flower, adding that manufacturers now face complex challenges including shifting consumer demands, resource scarcity, and growing regulatory pressure.
She says meeting them requires a bold new approach, one rooted not only in responsible sourcing but in reimagining every link in the value chain.
“At the forefront of this transformation is Novonesis. Formed by the merger of Chr Hansen and Novozymes, Novonesis brings together more than a century of expertise in food cultures, enzymes, and biosolutions. This combined heritage is now focused on enabling our partners to meet today’s challenges, making sustainability achievable at scale.”
By rethinking how food is produced, Novonesis helps manufacturers deliver products with extended shelf life, improved taste and texture, and simpler ingredient lists. On the farm, microbial solutions strengthen soil health, reducing the need for chemical inputs and helping to safeguard harvests for the next generation.
As the demand for clean-label, efficient solutions grows, Novonesis stands out for its hands-on collaboration.
“What sets us apart is our close partnership with customers,” Flower says. “Together, we develop science-driven answers that support both productivity and sustainability goals.”
Rooted in deep scientific knowledge and a commitment to sustainability, Novonesis “empowers food and beverage makers to deliver on their promises to both people and planet – now and into the future”.
