Our Story
In 2024, Metsa was born from a dream shared by a small group of passionate individuals. We were driven by a single question:
“Knowing that sustainable nutrition can transform lives, how can we make it a reality for everyone?”
The answer came from the fields where our food begins. We saw the struggles of farmers, the backbone of our food system. We knew that if we could connect these hardworking hands directly with the people who rely on their harvests, it would change lives—both theirs and the consumers seeking healthier choices.
They set out with the vision in mind to change the ecosystem by bridging this gap using the power of data and technology. A seed sown by our founders has now transformed into a global initiative transforming and impacting lives across countries.
Our Mission
Transform food systems by leveraging technology to provide personalized nutrition, empower communities, and promote sustainable farming practices.
