Company description: RumaFeed has developed a genetic improvement method to remove toxins from solanaceous plants such as potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers. This allows farmers to transform toxic foliage, which is typically discarded, into high-nutrition animal feed. The innovation reduces waste, improves food security, provides farmers with new income streams, and lowers health risks.

RumaFeed was part of the Israeli startup squad that participated in Calcalist's Mind the Tech London 2025 conference. Calcalist's "Dream Team" to London included early-stage startup companies in various fields. The startups joined the official delegation in its journey to London and took part in roundtable discussions at the event, presenting their companies to senior executives from the British and international tech industries.
