Climate-Positive Popcorn Snacks

One of the newest sustainable popcorn snacks on the market comes from Connect, a new line of snack foods from Pivot Bio that features 100% whole grain, non-GMO, unpopped popcorn kernels grown in Nebraska. This snack food is grown by farmers using Pivot Bio's own microbial nitrogen in place of of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. As such, the company is setting itself apart as the first of its kind to support a world with cleaner air and water.

Karsten Temme, co-founder and chief executive officer of Pivot Bio, says “We have a strong business with our first-of-its-kind microbial nitrogen. Launching a CPG brand is a natural next step for us. We want to connect consumers with farmers to start a conversation about the environmental benefits of crops that are powered by clean nitrogen from Pivot Bio microbes.” Next year, the company has plans to expand its product line with microwave popcorn.
