Fueling the Food Industry with sustainable ingredients
Novo Farina are on a mission to provide the UK Food Industry with British made pea protein for the development of meat alternative and reduced meat foods.
By choosing locally sourced yellow peas from our network of farmers across Norfolk and Suffolk, we support British farmers while significantly lowering carbon emissions, water usage, and land demands. From farm to fork, our commitment to sustainable practices ensures that every pea protein product we create contributes to a greener, healthier future—for you and the planet.
Discover how our pea protein ingredients are paving the way for a more sustainable food industry.
Pea-volution from Farm to Fork of Novo Farina Pea Protein
Environmental Benefits of Peas:
- Reduced Water Usage - Peas require significantly less water than animal protein production.
- Low Carbon Footprint - Lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to livestock farming.
- Nitrogen Fixation - Pea plants naturally enrich the soil, reducing the need for fertilisers.
- Minimal Land Use - Pea farming requires less land compared to traditional meat production.
Local Sourcing and Supply Chain Optimisation
The UK currently imports over 4 million tonnes of pulse-based protein, and our intention is to provide an alternative to reliance on imported soya and pea protein.
We produce our products with British peas and a responsibly sourced European pea protein isolate, to keep our food miles as low as possible and provide regulatory compliance & full traceability.
As a young business in the early stages of scaling up, we have committed to a plan to measure and manage our carbon emissions over the next 2 years.
