CrushMash is a FoodTech startup developing a new technology for producing nutrient-dense snacks as part of the Fifth Agricultural Revolution. Our first product, “Chips Without Fields,” combines controlled-environment cultivation with food manufacturing to produce nutrient-dense, plant-protein-rich snacks that can be manufactured locally in different markets.
With this technology, CrushMash was selected among the Top 3 startups in the Fighting Malnutrition & Enhancing Food Security category at the World Food Forum (WFF) Startup Innovation Awards 2026, organized within the FAO/UN ecosystem.
We already have a commercial product and validated production technology and are now preparing for international scale-up, with a particular focus on the US market. We are looking to build strategic relationships with leading snack and food companies that can advise us, support product and technology development, and help accelerate the deployment of our production platform. Our technology is designed to be scalable and adaptable to different markets, and we believe the right industry partners can help us bring it to global markets significantly faster.
