REGINA, Saskatchewan – TheNewswire - August 24, 2022 – Above Food Corp. (Above Food) is pleased to announce the expansion of its regenerative agriculture platform developed to commercialize and validate emerging technologies in seed, soil, food safety and advanced genetics through the acquisition of Discovery Seed Labs Ltd. (Discovery Seed). Discovery EARTH Sciences Inc. (Discovery) now has increased capability of testing, certifying, and auditing for all the regenerative agricultural practices utilized in the Above Food value chain.

Above Food’s acquisition of Discovery Seed, facilitates an enhanced technology and human resource capability in the utilization of proprietary genetic, soil and seed genomics, that are used to yield healthy and whole nutritious foods, while supporting a healthier, sustainable EARTH.

Discovery combines the pedigree, human resources, and technology of Discovery Seed Labs Ltd., founded in 1994, with the regenerative production protocols developed by the Above Food founders, to create, validate, and facilitate North America’s most advanced regenerative agricultural production platform.

Discovery will provide growers and ingredient companies with unparalleled testing, authentication, and evaluation services for Above’s three regenerative supply chain platforms: Regenerative Organic, Gluten Free and Natural Regenerative.  All of these in turn, gives Above Food even more custody over the quality, nutritional value, and functionality of the ingredients that they grow, sell, and use in their own plant-based products.  

"The expansion and acceleration of Discovery’s regenerative agricultural platform provides Above Food an opportunity to provide Above Food’s IPEliteTM Grower Producers the tools and technologies to implement regenerative agricultural practices through proprietary soil and seed testing technologies and focused genomics. This leaves our consumers and vendors with a trusted and certified stamp of comfort in knowing their products are being produced through a regenerative and environmentally sustainable process, every step of the way, from seed to dinner plate," said Lionel Kambeitz, Executive Chairman, CEO & Co-Founder, Above Food Corp. “This addition provides a platform bringing all the necessary disciplines together to create a stronger, more secure, vertically integrated supply chain.”
