As part of our commitment to a zero-waste, circular production model, every stage of Lemnora’s protein extraction process is designed to capture and utilize valuable co-products. One of the most significant among these is our omega-3 rich Lemna Oil, naturally present in Lemna minor and isolated through a carefully controlled side-stream process that preserves its purity and bioactive compounds.
Lemna Oil is an exceptionally nutrient-dense extract, containing a favorable profile of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for cardiovascular health, cognitive development, anti-inflammatory benefits, and skin wellness. Unlike traditional omega-3 sources, Lemna Oil is entirely plant-based, vegan, sustainable, and free from marine contaminants, making it an attractive ingredient for premium nutraceutical, functional food, and cosmetic formulations.
This co-product undergoes specialized refinement to meet the high standards required by the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, where stability, purity, and consistency are critical. Its light color, mild character, and naturally beneficial lipid profile make it valuable for applications in skincare, dermatological formulations, soft-gel supplements, and advanced wellness products.
Ongoing research at Lemnora is focused on further enhancing the functionality of this oil and exploring its role in omega-3 rich emulsions, fortified foods, and specialized therapeutic products. As part of our long-term pipeline, we are also developing methods to efficiently isolate natural pigments and bioactive compounds present in Lemna biomass. These pigments, rich in antioxidants and micronutrients, hold potential for use in clean-label food coloring, natural cosmetics, and high-value wellness ingredients.
Together, these co-products reinforce our dedication to 100% biomass utilization — ensuring that nothing from the Lemna plant is wasted. By converting every component into a high-value ingredient, we strengthen the commercial viability of our process while supporting a sustainable, planet-friendly production ecosystem.

Subsistence agriculture occurs when farmers grow food crops to meet the needs of themselves and their families on smallholdings.[1] Subsistence agriculturalists target farm output for survival and for mostly local requirements, with little or no surplus. Planting decisions occur principally with an eye toward what the family will need during the coming year, and only secondarily toward market prices.[1] Tony Waters, a professor of sociology, defines “subsistence peasants” as “people who grow what they eat, build their own houses.
Despite the primacy of self-sufficiency in subsistence farming, today most subsistence farmers also participate in trade to some degree, though usually for goods that are not necessary for survival, which may include sugar, iron roofing, bicycles, used clothing, and so forth. Most subsistence farmers today operate in developing countries.[3] Although their amount of trade as measured in cash is less than that of consumers in countries with modern complex markets, many have important trade contacts and trade items that they can produce because of their special skills or special access to resources valued in the marketplace.
