We’re dairy doers

Dairy, a much loved indulgence, needed a cutting-edge transition.
The experience of dairy is unlike any other, so we knew we had to preserve the flavor, feeling, and fullness that it brings without negatively impacting animals, the planet, and people.

OUR MISSION

Make dairy moments everlasting

Humans deserve full, long and healthy lives (and so do animals). We dedicate our efforts, thoughts, and processes to creating clean, sustainable, and scalable dairy proteins without sacrificing quality, nutrition, cost, or experience.

Earth’s Timeline Guides Ours From Inception to Infinity

Cow (Alarm) Bells Ring

The impact of dairy and beef cattle farming raises calls for concern. 83% of farmland accounts for 60% of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Imagindairy Innovators Unite

Immense uncertainty clouds the world. Meanwhile, Dr. Eyal Afergan, Dr. Arie Abo, and Professor Tamir Tuller combine their 14 degrees and team up with TheKitchen Foodtech Hub get to work on developing a world-changing solution. Imagindairy is founded.

The Billion Bubble Bursts

The world’s population expands to hit
8 billion people. While impressive, Earth’s resources are unsure of what happens next.

Hope Hits Shelves

Imagindairy’s dairy proteins are incorporated to make your favorite brand’s creations, causing cascades of positive change without any taste buds noticing.

Dairy Sans Carbon

The dairy industry reaches its goal to be carbon neutral amidst rising dairy consumption.

Sustainable Food Systems are Universal

Augmented reality transports children to farms to experience what it was like to milk a cow, as kids around the world grab their animal-free compostable milk cartons. Meanwhile, real cows are grazing in the open, farmers are growing crops that feed microorganisms used in dairy-free protein production, and the world’s population no longer worries about sustaining its food supply.

Imagindairy that.
