Growing the world’s most scalable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly source of oil and protein
Founded in 2010, Terviva is an agricultural innovation company partnering with farmers to grow pongamia, a climate-resilient tree which which helps to reforest land and revitalize communities. Pongamia is uniquely suited to meet today’s environmental challenges because it sequesters carbon, improves soil health and water quality while growing on land where other crops can’t grow. This helps to avoid deforestation and revitalize agricultural lands and communities around the world.
After more than a decade of innovation, Terviva has developed a way to harvest and transform pongamia beans into sustainable food ingredients and bioenergy. The company's transparent and equitable supply chain spans wild harvesting and non-GMO bean collection in India as well as roughly 1,500 acres of pongamia planted around the world in Florida, Hawaii and Australia.
