Stefan Lindberg and Julia Jouhki have both experience in several food-sector cases with proven success. Hannu Ryöppönen has taken Oatly to the UK.”

“Finally, we wanted to choose investors who believe in our strong mission to make kids’ eating habits and the world plant-powered with delicious oat.”, Milla says.

Changing the way kids’ food is purchased

Green Planet Astronaut’s products are ideally developed for kids and the planet; they are 100 % organic and low in fructose with no added sugar. Next, the astronauts want to change the way children’s food is purchased.

“Our product works brilliantly for e-commerce as it doesn’t require cold storage. It’s also easier to buy more at one-time which is also smart for the planet”, Milla tells.

“To raise the next planet-friendly generation we are using all the touchpoints not only offering the world’s best children’s food. Even the box used in delivery offers children an inspiring playground to explore the ecosystem.”
