About

Zero Acre Farms produces high-performance cooking oils designed as sustainable, health-conscious alternatives to conventional seed oils. Its flagship product is cultured oil made from rain-fed sugarcane plants through a fermentation process that converts raw sugar into oil — using 99% less water than olive oil and 87% less land than canola oil. The oil is composed of approximately 93% monounsaturated fat, giving it a high smoke point, oxidative stability, and a clean neutral taste suited to a wide range of culinary applications. Zero Acre Farms primarily serves restaurants and foodservice operators seeking to eliminate seed oils from their kitchens, while also selling directly to consumers. The company was founded in 2020 and is committed to decoupling cooking oil production from deforestation-linked annual monocrops.
