Food & Nutrition

With Yuri, you explore how cells, proteins and microbes behave in microgravity and radiation. You test future crops, ingredients and fertilizers for resilience, nutrition and circularity – and scale the most promising concepts back to Earth.

Redefining food & nutrition

Feed planet earth

Microgravity, radiation and closed-loop resources reveal stress responses, nutrient dynamics and textures you can’t see on Earth – letting you design more resilient crops, novel proteins and stable, nutrient-dense foods for space and terrestrial markets.

From single mission to scalable program: Yuri’s platforms and services reduce complexity while you build a space-enabled food & nutrition pipeline.

Next-gen protein production

Optimize microbial and cell-based proteins in compact, circular systems for sustainable nutrition in space and on Earth.

Resilient crops & bioinputs

Screen plants, microbes and biofertilizers under extreme space conditions to select for resilience, efficiency and yield.

Nutrition & functional ingredients

Use microgravity to study nutrient uptake, encapsulation and release, enabling highly targeted functional foods and supplements.

Why working with Yuri?

Food & nutrition companies need more sustainable, high-performance products while margins and resources stay tight. Microgravity lets you test future crops, ingredients and functional nutrition in ways Earth can’t.

Resource intensive innovation

New crops and ingredients need seasons and large trials; Yuri’s microgravity and closed-loop studies compress learning and show performance under extreme stress.

"Why Space?" value

Budgets need a strong story; together we design experiments around concrete use cases like resilient crops, novel proteins or functional nutrition with measurable market impact.

Scalable programs

Single “space food” stunts don’t last; Yuri’s reusable platforms and services let every mission build towards a scalable, space-enabled food & nutrition portfolio.

USE CASES

Disrupting food & nutrition innovation with microgravity

See how space biology plugs directly into your innovation pipeline. Each use case targets a concrete question – with clear readouts, timelines, and a path from one mission to a scalable program.
