Aardaia develops new crops from wild plant species—starting with the aardaker, a nitrogen-fixing protein tuber—for farmers and food-system partners.
Aardaia is tackling the concentration of global calories in a few crops and Europe's dependence on imported protein by domesticating aardaker, a nitrogen-fixing tuber intended to combine root-crop productivity with legume biology. Its €5 million seed round is funding screening scale-up from 750,000 to two million genotypes, while the company already sells its harvest to De Nieuwe Winkel, giving the crop an early commercial test.
