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.
![Diagram showing food waste](/img/food-waste-diagram.jpg)
HeartFoods Community Farms touches on all four parts of the world’s food system that must be transformed:
Production, Processing, Distribution and Consumption

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 BioLoop System’s closed loop design.

Closed-Loop Design
Energy + Nutrients + Water + CO2

Unique Advantages
- HeartFoods’ BioLoop “Core” Technology is 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
- Nutrious food sold direct to customers at retail prices
- Provides local food security and jobs
- Stimulate local “circular” economies

Community Farm Option
Modular - Fully Integrated Package Systems
HeartFoods is a Design-Build-Operate entity contracting with customers to custom build their own modular BioLoop Technology System in five markets:
Local Food Production (Community Farms)
Includes options for vertical grow rooms or greenhouse crop production
Regenerative Agriculture
Crop & animal waste converted to energy, CO2 & fertilizer for soil restoration to increase yields
Controlled Environment Agriculture
Onsite food & crop waste converted to energy, CO2 & fertilizer + increase profits
Food Processing and Manufacturing
Food waste converted to energy, CO2 & fertilizer + carbon reduction
Controlled Environment Aquaculture
Fish & shellfish solids and morts are processed + grow feed options
Community Farm [Modular Farm Option]
- Structures and equipment are assembled in a shop and delivered to the site for “turnkey” operations.
- High-tech greenhouses can be added to the modular BioLoop “Core” System based on location and customer specifications.

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.
![Farmers High-Fiving](/img/famers-high-five.jpg)
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 and Aeroponics](/img/hydroponics_aeroponics.jpg)
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](/img/food-waste.jpg)
Food waste “resource” converted into: green energy + food grade CO2 + fertilizer with overall operating carbon reduction
Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)
- An onsite “Core” BioLoop System converts the organic waste to produce green power, and fertilizer, plus it reuses and captures CO2 and water.

MainStream Aquaculture
Fish & shellfish solids and morts are processed + 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.
