✳ ALMA · OUR VISION
Empowering producers, inspiring people, and shaping the future of food together.
ALMA · WHY FOOD?
What we grow, make and eat shapes life far beyond the plate. That makes food a powerful place to begin.
How we produce food shapes our climate, biodiversity, and the use of land and water.
Food systems are a major driver of pressure on several planetary boundaries. Changing how food is produced and consumed can address interconnected environmental challenges.

Better diets can support well-being and reduce the risk of diet-related disease.
Unhealthy diets are a leading risk for disease, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers. Healthier food choices should be easier to understand and make.

We believe the way animals are treated in our food system must change.
A better food system should take animal suffering seriously. For Alma, how animals are raised, treated and used for food is an ethical responsibility.
An ethical commitment that shapes our vision.
Good food should be accessible, and the people behind it should be able to thrive.
We want better food to become an everyday possibility. That means considering both the people who choose it and the livelihoods of those who grow and make it.
A social and economic ambition.ALMA · LET’S MOVE FORWARD
From the people who produce our food to the people who choose it, we all have a part to play.
ALMA · OUR APPROACH
We begin with practical tools for producers, then build towards easier access to good food and shared innovation.
Our first focus is shaping alma.tools around producers’ documentation, costing and commercial needs and identifying where practical software could make the greatest difference.
Automated documentation & traceability. Less repetitive work. More time to make good food.
Product costing & margin analysis. Understand the economics behind every product.
Product transparency & new sales channels. Make the value of better food easier to discover.
Build on producer-approved product information to improve transparency, support informed choices and develop a future marketplace.
Product information & traceability. A clearer view of what is behind the food we eat.
Product comparison & personalized guidance. Turn more information into useful understanding.
Marketplace & convenient shopping. Bring producers and consumers closer together.
Our long-term ambition is to turn shared needs and a growing network into opportunities for innovation in food production, infrastructure and circularity.
Regenerative methods & resource-conscious production. Support ways of producing food that work with nature.
Smarter packaging, logistics & essential systems. Rethink the systems that get good food from producer to people.
Less waste. More circular possibilities. Keep materials and resources in use for longer.
Connected by design. Built step by step.
ALMA · THE STORY BEHIND IT
Choose a person to learn more.
Marian has been interested in environmental issues and sustainability since childhood. After completing his business studies, he helped develop a circular economy technology for producing phosphate fertilisers and worked on a science education platform with the motto: “Understanding the world around us helps us appreciate it.”
While preparing a nutrition workshop for that platform, he came to understand just how profoundly food affects both our environment and our well-being. That insight sparked his desire to make a difference in this field.
He went on to plan, finance and build a food manufacturing facility from the ground up. He sold its products through his own online shop and a range of other channels, including supermarket chains such as REWE, EDEKA and BIO COMPANY. Through this experience, he gained a firsthand understanding of the demands and challenges of producing and marketing food. He has since trained as a software developer. With Alma, he now wants to develop the tools he wishes he had had back then.
