Heartfoods Group, Inc.
An AgriFoodTech and CleanTech Company
Transforming Our Food System
Recycling food and crop waste for a more secure food future
Our Process
The HeartFoods’ core BioLoopTech™ System recycles the energy, nutrients, water and carbon from food and crop waste to produce green power, capture CO2 and create a robust biological live-culture liquid fertilizer, that we call “Biobrew”.
The Problem
The current global food supply chain creates food waste.
HeartFoods Community Farms touches on all four parts of the world’s food system that must be transformed:
Production, Processing, Distribution and Consumption
Why Do We Need to Change Our Food System?

The Solution
A Better Farm to Fork Economy
Current Global
Food System
HeartFoods Food System
HeartFoods products are sourced and sold within the HeartFoods community.
Transform the food system from a linear model to a circular economic model
Net Zero Design
The energy, nutrients, water and carbon in the food and crop waste is processed by the HeartFoods BioLoopTech™ System’s closed loop design.
Closed-Loop Design
Energy + Nutrients + Water + CO2
Unique Advantages
- HeartFoods’ core BioLoopTech™ System has an agritech, cleantech, green energy precedent
- Proprietary organic fertilizer made from food/crop waste
- CO2 capture & carbon reduction
- Fresh organic food can be grown year-round in any climate
- Nutritious food sold direct to customers at retail prices
- Provides local food security and jobs
- Stimulate local “circular” economies
Community Farm Option
Our Theme
Food as Medicine. HeartFoods helps grow nutritious food for healthy communities around the world.
Community Farm [Modular Farm Option]
Structures and equipment are assembled in a shop and delivered to the site for “turnkey” operations.

Regenerative Agriculture
- Applications for restoring and enhancing soil health with biological “live culture” fertilizer while producing onsite green power, reusing and capturing CO2 and water.
Farm soil and its microbial conditions benefit from the proprietary biological additives and processes used to create a robust fertilizer
Organic Certified Fertilizer & Foods Crops
- Vertical grow rooms and high-tech greenhouse food production.
Hydroponics grow vegetables, greens, herbs, spirulina and berries in an optimal controlled growing environment
Food Industry
- The operating costs of handling onsite food waste is turned into a profit center by converting the energy, nutrients, water and carbon into valuable products.
Food waste “resource” converted into: green energy + food grade CO2 + fertilizer with overall operating carbon reduction
Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)
- An onsite BioLoopTech™ System converts the organic aquaculture waste and mortalities (AKA "morts") into green power and fertilizer, plus it captures CO2 and water.
MainStream Aquaculture
Process fish & shellfish waste solids and morts + grow feed options
Business Model
- We design and build the modular HeartFoods BioLoopTech™ facility in a shop, ship it anywhere in the world, including the equipment, and provide set-up and start-up operations.
- We train local operational staff in food/crop waste collection and processing, and, optional grow room production, produce harvesting and distribution.
- We provide on-going monthly supply of biological additives and operational support via remote monitoring and controls.
