Open role
Food Application Internship
Farmless B.V.
About the role
Our mission is to decouple protein production from agricultural land and create an era of food abundance for humanity. We use natural fermentation and a renewable-energy based feedstock to produce protein ingredients. While practically all fermentation methods up until now relied on sugars - which are derived from crops grown on agricultural land - we based our fermentation platform on a feedstock which can be made with just renewable energy. This allows us to bypass the inefficiency of photosynthesis and break free of its limiting constraints.
At Farmless, we're offering an exciting internship opportunity where you help shape the future of food production. We are looking for a motivated Food Application intern who will join our team to create the best Food Applications using Farmless’ Postbiotic Protein!

Research various food sensory properties of Farmless’ Postbiotic Protein, and link then to fermentation and harvest parameters, and investigate how to improve them. Develop various food formulations together with the food application team, and help to understand how Farmless’ Postbiotic Protein behaves in these.
