Ep. 109: Naveen Sikka: Planting Millions of Trees to Feed Billions

Oct 11, 2022

Naveen Sikka is the CEO of Terviva, an agtech company that’s transforming the food landscape.

We rely on just a few crops for our survival, think corn, wheat, etc. But we know that there are many issues with modern agriculture as it's been performed.

Naveen and his team have created a true win/win/win company by creating a regenerative food system based on the Pongamia tree, a tree that grows where many other crops can’t.

In addition to reclaiming “bad” farmland, this tree produces both oil and protein with far-reaching positive implications for our health and the planet.

Terviva has received somewhere in the ballpark of 100 million in funding, and they've been recognized as one of the 25 most innovative ag-tech startups by Forbes several years in a row.
