Company Overview
Natural Evolution was the first company to commercially produce green banana flour. Natural Evolution began this as CO-Founder Rob Watkins was fed up with discarding hundreds of tonnes of bananas each year that he had grown on his farm simply because they were too big, small, odd-shaped or simply too many on the market. Natural Evolution are world leaders in the space of purchasing excess produce from farmers at market rate and through their own inhouse technology (NutroLockTM) transform the produce into nutrient-dense superfoods that are backed by science. You can see the Natural Evolution story in this TEDX talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV38emFiAYk) and also look at the commercial Evolution Industries which goes on to help other farmers transform produce that would ordinarily be wasted into products that make our world healthier and less wasteful. https://www.evolutionindustries.com.au/ Natural Evolution creates a range of innovative fruit, vege powders and drinks all from produce that is ordinarily thrown away.
