our story

since 2019, We are on a mission
to make our food systems of tomorrow resilient by diversifying the plants we eat.  

Talmond is a female-led Ghanaian-based company that is focused on developing the alternative protein landscape in Sub-Saharan Africa.

 

We are transforming the climate- and water-resilient neglected tropical almond and fonio grain into novel plant-based dairy milk alternatives into different unique flavours from Ghana for the home and global market, among other product lines.

Talmond is a female-led Ghanaian-based company that is focused on developing the alternative protein landscape in sub-Saharan Africa.

 

We are transforming the climate- and water-resilient neglected tropical almond and fonio grain into novel plant-based dairy milk alternatives into different unique flavours from Ghana for the home and global market, among other product lines. 

Hundred percent gluten free and non-GMO
let's go nuts

100% African ingredients     100% unique flavors         #PUTTINGGHANAONTHETABLE

 100% unique flavors     

The tropical almond and fonio are considered super foods that are protein-rich, gluten-free, micronutrient-rich, drought tolerant, but largely forgotten. By focusing on minor crops, Talmond is reintroducing them into our everyday food systems, thereby diversifying the plants we eat. This has the potential to enhance the resilience of smallholder farmers and turn Ghana and Africa into consumers of its own produce and not just a producer of raw materials.

the problem

Global food security

is threatened

the problem

crop plants provide 90% of the worlds food intake. 

only 15

of which 60 %

comes from only: 

rice, maize and wheat

1.

the lack of crop diversity

is resulting in food systems that are not resilient to climate change 

plant based 
alternatives

is key to feeding our growing global population with planetary boundaries

Geographical dependence jeopardises food access and results in unrealised smallholder farmer potential in Africa.
