Nama’s mission is to create an ecosystem through microgreens to produce healthy food options that promote sustainable consumption and responsible production for people and the planet. Nama wants to let consumers experience the farm-to-table lifestyle to showcase how crucial sustainable consumption and production are to the environment.
Following the 17 UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development (SDGs), Nama Microgreens can foster 6 SDGs respectively, SDG 2 - Zero Hunger, SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being, SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG 12 - Responsible for Consumption and Production, SDG 13 - Climate Action, and SDG 15 - Life on Land.
Nama strives to continue growing with the various range of products they sell daily with the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
1.) SDG 2 - Zero Hunger: Nama seeks future direction to address that hidden hunger for kids and people with comorbidity like those who are undergoing dialysis, have diabetes or even high cholesterol. These people are usually much more conscious of what they eat. Nama is also catering for the upper middle class to the middle class, also making it more accessible. The majority of what we are intaking doesn’t meet the daily nutritional requirement people should have. That is one of the perspectives or aspects Nama is looking into in the consumer market. One way of addressing it is by looking into numerous studies showing that there are many vitamins and minerals in microgreens.
2.) SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being: One of the most present SDGs that Nama portrays because the sole purpose of Nama as a whole is promoting microgreens as a superfood that can help improve healthier diets.
3.) SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities: As Nama adapted to the vision, people in urban environments with small space areas can grow plants. Microgreens as young vegetable greens that are approximately 1 - 3 inches tall, can be a perfect green vegetable that is very convenient to produce, as they can be grown in convenient locations, such as windowsills, outdoors, greenhouses, and more.
4.) SDG 12 - Responsible for Consumption and Production: Nama provides an additional solution to a healthier diet with microgreens. Why microgreens? Comparing other common greens, for example, common lettuce. People usually think that lettuce is nutritious, but in reality, it mainly contains water and fiber, which does not provide many vitamins and minerals. There still needs to be more of a gap between what we take in and what makes us full, and what we perceive as benefits towards the common vegetables. Microgreens, conversely, are packed with antioxidants and nutrients like iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium, and copper.
5.) SDG 13 - Climate Action: Nama is looking at the idea that once people are aware of where their food comes from, they will be more concerned about it, as urban farming contributes to the promotion of this awareness of where our food comes from in terms of climate action, betting on the effect of people not wasting their food; therefore, they will not.
6.) SDG 15 - Life on Land: Once people become more aware of how they consume food, things like mental health consumption should eventually slow down, and ultimately, life on land should return, even though we are still in an urban farming environment and cutting down on food miles and other things like that. Even though Nama’s products are more just a garnish than a severe fix, Nama promotes urban farming. It raises awareness of its advantages so that people can become self-sufficient on their land and can make the most of their own space. Less land is needed to be cleared for agriculture, which significantly impacts the environment.

What the company does explicitly with the innovation is to give seeds and small plants to neighbor businesses in the near community. Why? Since the balsa wood market is very volatile, there are times where buying raw material can be very difficult, and if there is some in the market, the price is very high. So, Balitsa S.A. mainly agrees with the person who is receiving the seeds or small plants on a sale of raw material in the future, when the plants are grown. So, a relationship with a potential supplier is made and also helps the company in getting the raw material when it is otherwise scarce. While doing these, Balitsa S.A. is focused strongly on SDGs. It creates decent work and economic growth, since new jobs are generated and a verbal contract is formed.
The innovation relates but is not limited to promoting development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encouragement of the formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, including access to financial services. Through the innovation, jobs and potential business are created for people in the area by giving them access to plants and seeds.
