At the forefront of clean food innovation.

About Us

New Agrarian invests in, develops, and manages modern clean food companies that combat food insecurity through advanced bio-manufacturing processes.

Numbers

49%

of all beef is produced in
only 5 countries

41.6bn

tonnes of CO2 emissions
were projected for 2024

35%

of the global population
are food insecure

Opportunity

The Global Food & Beverage market is worth over $10tn, essential to sustaining life and economies worldwide. The demand for sustainable food production has never been greater.

⁠Growing Global Population

The world’s population is projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the need for efficient, high-yield food production.

Food Security Urgency

Ongoing supply chain disruptions, geopolitical instability, and climate change are amplifying the need for a localised, resilient food system.

Strong Institutional Backing

Governments worldwide are actively promoting healthier eating habits through funding, incentives, and policy frameworks.

Evolving Consumer Preferences

A growing demand for organic, non-GMO, and sustainably produced food is driving innovative solutions in clean food manufacturing.

New Agrarian is uniquely positioned to capitalise on this market shift.

⁠Industry Experience

Founded by Jim Mellon and later strengthened by the additions of Dr Philip Boigner and Denham Eke, the team leverages decades of combined expertise and extensive industry connections to drive growth.

Market Advantage

Operating in the UK and UAE positions us at the heart of regions with a strong focus in sustainable food, enabling us to seize opportunities in a dynamic and expanding market.

Technology-Driven Innovation

Harnessing the latest agricultural innovations to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and productivity, and lead the development of smarter, more resilient farming practices.

But application of our technology is much more diverse that just food production.

Our portfolio companies also use advanced precision fermentation to transform agricultural waste into products for industries such as cosmetics and materials.

Technology

Cultivated Protein

This cutting-edge technology harnesses bioreactors, like those used in yogurt production, to create animal protein more efficiently—using less land and water while significantly reducing carbon emissions compared to traditional animal farming.

Precision Fermentation

Engineered microorganisms are used like tiny factories to manufacture products such as fats or specific proteins like egg or milk proteins. This has the same benefits as cultivated protein, and allows for production of targeted, high value products.

Modern Genetics

Modern genetics makes targeted changes to crops and animals to select for useful traits. This is the same as selective breeding but much faster and can be used to grow crops in unfavourable conditions, or with longer shelf lives.

Bio-Tech Infrastructure

Purpose-built bioreactors and modular facilities enable faster, cheaper, and scalable production of next-gen clean food, hitting price parity with conventional methods, without compromise.
