QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES / ACCESSWIRE / February 8, 2022 / CGS International, Inc. (OTC PINK:CGSI) (the "Company" or "CGSI"), a publicly traded, fully reporting emerging growth company focused on the development and sale of its organic plant enhancers known as GENESIS 89 and GENESIS 89 GOLD, is pleased to announce that it has reached a deal to acquire certain rights to organic plant-based foods with Mindful FUD, Inc. ("Mindful FUD"), a Canadian based company.

CGSI and Mindful FUD have agreed on the framework for a Territorial License Agreement whereby CGSI shall acquire (i) the exclusive marketing, manufacturing, and distribution rights to all Mindful FUD products in Asia and (ii) the right to market, manufacture and distribute Mindful FUD products in certain geographic regions. Once signed, the deal will require CGSI to advance certain funds to Mindful FUD in exchange for these rights.

"The environmental impact and sustainability of the animal agriculture industry drove the creation of Mindful FUD products, and it is those same goals that have driven us in the development of the Genesis 89 products," stated Ramon Mabanta, CEO of CGSI. "We are thrilled that we are on the verge of executing this agreement with Mindful FUD. The synergy between our companies is amazingly strong as we both aim to cut our carbon footprint, save water and help ensure vital crop resources are fed to people."

Using country-level data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, if 50 percent of the world's population restricts their diet to a healthy 2,500 calories per day and reduces meat consumption overall, it is estimated that at least 26.7 gigatons of emissions could be avoided from dietary change alone. If avoided deforestation from land use change is included, an additional 39.3 gigatons of emissions could be avoided, making healthy, plant-rich diets one of the most impactful solutions at a total of 66 gigatons reduced.

A global shift to a plant-based diet could reduce mortality and greenhouse gases caused by food production by 10% and 70%, respectively, by 2050. A report from the United Nations Environment Programme says that "animal products, both meat and dairy, in general require more resources and cause higher emissions than plant-based alternatives." The World Health Organization says, "Reducing livestock herds would also reduce emissions of methane, which is the second largest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide."

While the framework for the deal with Mindful FUD has been negotiated, the actual closing of this transaction is anticipated within the week. Additional updates will be announced as they become available.

ABOUT MINDFUL FUD

Mindful FÜD prides themselves in being a high-quality producer of delicious, natural and sustainable alternatives to animal products with a greater focus on inclusion of all types of consumers. They believe with the welcome mat open that we can make a greater number of people open minded about their food choices.

Mindful FÜD started as a meal delivery service in 2015 called Feed Me Fit. Shortly thereafter, Mindful FÜD built a commercial kitchen from scratch and operated until 2019 offering a wide range of healthy food options. Mindful FÜD started creating its first plant-based meat alternative in 2019 when asked to team up with a local charity to provide 100 families with plant-based burgers for 3 months, and through a lot of trial and error, created a product they were eager to share with the world, all while helping those in need. This is why, in 2020, Mindful FUD decided to focus solely on their plant-based products. Presently, Mindful FÜD is rapidly growing and over the last month has added over 50 retailers and got listed at 110 Save-On-Foods department stores in Canada, as well as an online grocer ‘Vejii' which is one of the largest online plant-based retailers, which allows them access across the Canada and US market.
