Futureworld launches Grow-X

The world is facing a climate crisis, and nowhere is this more critical than in Africa, where population growth is set to nearly double by 2050, demanding a significant increase in local food production. But traditional fertilizers, while essential, are a double-edged sword—contributing to 5% of global emissions, more than aviation and shipping combined.

In a continent heavily reliant on fertilizer imports, global instability and supply chain disruptions have led to soaring prices, causing food inflation to reach an average of 24% across Africa. This has deepened food insecurity, particularly among the most vulnerable.

At Futureworld, we see opportunity in this challenge. Introducing Grow-X—a ground-breaking initiative to transform food waste into sustainable, climate-friendly fertilizers. By harnessing Africa’s food waste, which accounts for a staggering one-third of all food produced, Grow-X not only creates new revenue streams for food producers but also provides affordable and regenerative crop nutrients for farmers.

With a projected $500 million market opportunity, Grow-X is poised to capture 4% of Africa’s fertilizer market by 2028, driving food security for the next generation. Join us in building a circular agricultural value chain that tackles climate change and feeds the world.

Futureworld is committed to co-investing with our partners to make this vision a reality. Together, we can create a sustainable future. To learn more about Grow-X or our other ventures, reach out to us today.
