About Us

Wide Open Agriculture is an ASX-listed company applying innovative technology to transform lupins into healthy, functional and sustainable ingredients for the food, beverage and cosmetic sectors. WOA’s 'whole of seed' business model utilises all elements of the lupin seed to create a suite of high value ingredients, including lupin protein, fibre, lupin oil and gamma conglutin. We are at an exciting stage of commercialisation and growth, having successfully transitioned from pilot scale to early commercial scale protein production, with repeat customers and a strong global sales pipeline, and promising opportunities for the coproducts including lupin oil and fibre.
