Volunteer Botanicals Partners with the Independent Brewers Alliance to Help Members Expand Product Offerings
Agreement makes Volunteer Botanicals the preferred supplier of hemp-based cannabinoids and functional ingredients for brewers developing non-alcoholic beverages 'Brewers have everything they need to make these new beverages, except a support system and tech team to help them.'— Jason Pickle MURFREESBORO, TN, UNITED STATES, June 11, 2025 / / -- Volunteer Botanicals, developers of microemulsion ingredients for a variety of botanical-based products, announced today it has partnered with the Independent Brewers Alliance (IBA) to become the preferred supplier of hemp-based cannabinoids and other functional ingredients for IBA member businesses. The agreement comes at a time of rapid change for independent brewers, which face a maturing industry managing decreasing alcohol sales and changing consumer preferences. In 2024 more breweries closed than were opened, a first for the industry as consumer preferences continue to shift away from alcohol consumption. Consequently, brewers are seeking ways to expand product offerings. Many are finding a niche with non-alcoholic beverages that feature a variety of functional ingredients ranging from hemp-derived THC to other botanical extracts. To date, Volunteer Botanicals has worked with dozens of craft brewers to help them formulate, develop, distribute and market new functional beverages. 'This partnership marks a pivotal step toward helping craft brewers across the country tap into the booming functional beverage space,' said Jason Pickle, President of Volunteer Botanicals. 'We truly believe we are experiencing a generational shift in beverage consumption. In order to meet changing consumer demands while still maintaining a robust taproom, brewers are diversifying their product lines and finding entirely new customers. Brewers have everything they need to make these new beverages, except a support system and tech team to help them. IBA and Volunteer Botanicals are perfectly positioned to help businesses succeed in this new environment.' Volunteer Botanicals is on the forefront of the rapidly expanding functional beverage category. The company's Rapidose™ microemulsions provide a groundbreaking solution for incorporating oil-soluble compounds into water-based formulations. Most recently Volunteer Botanicals launched its Beverage Accelerator Program, which provides beverage manufacturers with the resources needed to develop, produce and distribute new non-alcoholic beverages in as little as three months. Through the new partnership with IBA, brewers can leverage Volunteer Botanicals' expertise and ingredients at preferred rates to tap into the exploding popularity of beverages featuring hemp-derived cannabinoids and other botanical ingredients. 'Brewers face a variety of challenges, from cost and supply issues to the ongoing drop in overall alcohol consumption,' said Peter Licht, Director of Supplier Relations for the IBA. 'Our mission is to help our members survive and thrive, and there is no doubt that many brewers are seeing great gains by diversifying their product offerings. By partnering with Volunteer Botanicals, our goal is to add yet another tool we can use to help members succeed.' Formed in 2016, the IBA is made up of more than 600 brewers producing more than 2.2 million barrels annually. This combined production gives the IBA unprecedented buying power that attracts many of the industry's biggest and best supplier-partners providing deep savings to IBA members on a wide variety of expenses. For more information on Volunteer Botanicals or to schedule an interview with Jason Pickle, contact Jim Dissett at 303-532-7392 or [email protected]. About Volunteer Botanicals Volunteer Botanicals has developed an innovative in-house technology suite that produces Rapidose™ water-based microemulsions for beverages and shots, as well as free-flowing, pharmaceutical-grade powders for solid oral dose formats. This cutting-edge conversion technology is the cornerstone of the company's incredibly precise, highly effective and exceptionally bioavailable solutions. Whether creating a beverage or a custom tablet, Volunteer Botanicals' precision dosing technology offers endless possibilities when harnessing the power of plants.

AYuTe NextGen 2025 Comes to Kampala: Africa's Boldest Youth-Led Agri-Tech Innovators Set to Take the Stage
Africa's brightest young agri-tech innovators are heading to Kampala, Uganda, for the AYuTe NextGen 2025 Conference, set to take place from June 17 to 19. 'We are spotlighting youth as the true architects of Africa's agricultural future and giving them the tools and partnerships they need to scale solutions that build resilient, inclusive food systems.' — Adesuwa Ifedi KAMPALA, UGANDA, June 11, 2025 / / -- Africa's brightest young agri-tech innovators are heading to Kampala, Uganda, for the AYuTe NextGen 2025 Conference, set to take place from June 17 to 19. Created and organized by Heifer International , this high-impact event is a flagship platform designed by youth, for youth, where technology meets agriculture and the continent's most promising agtech entrepreneurs take center stage. With the theme 'AgTech Generation Rising,' the 2025 conference which convenes young innovators, investors, policymakers, and development partners is a clarion call to recognize and support the game-changing solutions Africa's young minds are building to revolutionize food systems. The Challenge: A Growing Youth Population, a Stressed Food System Africa's population is the fastest growing globally, projected to reach 4.3 billion by 2100. Home to the world's fastest-growing youth population—with more than 60% under the age of 25— the continent is simultaneously grappling with a food system strained by climate change, market volatility, and outdated infrastructure. Young people are often locked out of the agricultural sector, facing barriers to capital, mentorship, and viable markets. Many young Africans also view agriculture as outdated and unprofitable, resulting in a skills shortage in a sector critical to continental food security. AYuTe (Agriculture, Youth, and Technology) is Heifer International's strategic answer to these critical challenges. By focusing on youth-led innovation, the initiative reframes agriculture as a modern, profitable, tech-enabled industry, and positions young Africans not as beneficiaries, but as the architects of Africa's agricultural renaissance. AYuTe NextGen 2025: Innovation Meets Opportunity The 2025 AYuTe NextGen conference follows an intense, continent-wide competition that drew over 100 applicants from 10 countries. Through rigorous technical assessment sessions in Lagos and Nairobi, 11 finalists emerged, armed with solutions that are climate-smart, market-ready, and laser-focused on access to finance and scale. These finalists will pitch live before a distinguished panel of investors, policymakers, and ecosystem enablers, with the chance to secure catalytic seed funding, mentorship, and a place in the innovation ecosystem being provided by Heifer and its strategic partners. From drone technology to AI-driven analytics, the solutions on display reflect the ingenuity, passion, and drive of Africa's next generation. 'This is the AgTech generation rising, ready, capable, and already leading,' said Adesuwa Ifedi , Senior Vice President for Africa Programs, Heifer International. 'With AYuTe NextGen, we are spotlighting youth as the true architects of Africa's agricultural future and giving them the tools and partnerships they need to scale solutions that build resilient, inclusive food systems.' Dayo Aduroja, Africa Youth and Innovation Lead at Heifer International, added that young people are proving that Africa's agriculture can be both innovative and profitable. 'This year's competition generated many bold, creative solutions from across the continent,' he said. 'The conference provides a platform where ideas meet opportunity, and solutions gain the capital and support needed to scale.' Youth-Led. Youth-Focused. Transformational. What makes AYuTe NextGen unique is its focus on youth leadership at every level. This is not a conference where young people are on the sidelines, they are the speakers, designers, moderators, and creators. Interactive forums, fireside chats, and investor conversations will be led by youth, tackling issues from digital disruption and climate resilience to policy reform and inclusive financing. These are authentic, unfiltered conversations designed to spark investment and scale innovation. Why It Matters • For Youth: A rare opportunity to showcase ideas, learn from peers, and connect with partners who believe in your potential. • For Investors: Access to pipeline-ready innovations and the next wave of AgTech startups shaping Africa's food economy. • For Policymakers: A first-hand look at what youth-led innovation can achieve with the right policies and ecosystem support. From Local Ideas to Continental Impact Now in its fourth year, AYuTe NextGen has supported dozens of startups across Africa, whose innovative solutions have impacted more than 650,000 direct beneficiaries and over 1.2 million indirect beneficiaries across the continent. Past winners like Thrive Agric (Nigeria), Thur Biotech (Ethiopia), and Digicow (Kenya) are scaling their businesses and bringing transformative change to smallholder communities. The 2024 Uganda winner of the country level competition, Assumpta Nakalema, developed a solar-powered egg incubator that is already reducing post-harvest losses and energy dependency for poultry farmers. As she puts it: 'The AYuTe NextGen platform doesn't just identify innovations, it builds the ecosystem needed for sustained growth and impact.' SVP Ifedi acknowledged the support of Heifer International's existing partners and called for increased stakeholder collaboration to enable youth-led agricultural development. She urged investors, funders, and governments to recognize that supporting young innovators today means securing Africa's food future tomorrow. 'To Africa's young innovators, your time is now,' she said. 'Step forward with your vision. The continent is ready. To investors, policymakers, and funders, be part of this movement. The future of African agriculture is tech-driven, youth-led, and unfolding in real time. Let's work together to co-create an inclusive, resilient food future.' About Heifer International Since 1944, Heifer International has worked with more than 52 million people around the world to end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way, while caring for the Earth. Heifer currently operates in 19 countries across Africa, Asia, and the Americas, supporting farmers and food producers to strengthen local economies and build secure livelihoods that provide a living income.
