Our journey at Dapibuset began with a simple question that kept me up at night: How can we sustainably provide protein to meet the needs of a growing world? My co-founder and I spent countless evenings brainstorming, researching, and experimenting with alternative proteins for human consumption, driven by a shared vision of creating a better future.

It wasn’t long before we encountered a significant challenge: the feed industry. We saw that existing protein sources had a massive environmental impact, and Europe’s reliance on imports only exacerbated the problem. It became clear that the system wasn’t working and needed to change.

That’s when we made a bold decision—not just to focus on feeding people but to re-imagine how animals are fed. It was a tough call, but we moved forward with determination, collaboration, and a strong belief that we could make a meaningful difference.

Every step of this journey continues to teach me about resilience, innovation, and the incredible power of partnerships. More than anything, it reaffirms that even the boldest dreams can take root and grow into meaningful change.
