Mike and Emily Musil Church (left) of the Milken Institute were joined by businessman and philanthropist Patrice Motsepe (right) to honor Diana Orembe and Otaigo Elisha, founders of NovFeed, a Tanzanian-based company that was awarded a $1 million grand prize for the AgriTech competition of the Milken-Motsepe Prize. NovFeed has developed a proprietary technology to upcycle organic waste into nutritious, sustainable and traceable plant-based protein ingredients and concentrated natural biofertilizers for the food system. Their innovation produces sustainable high-protein feed 30 percent cheaper than other protein feeds traditionally available to farmers, and this technology is expected to allow smallholder farmers to sustainably increase their incomes.
