Luke's Inspiration: Working on Food and Alternative Proteins

Luke's interest in working on food and alternative proteins stemmed from his medical studies and a trip to the Amazon rainforest. He became concerned about the impact of agriculture, particularly livestock, on the environment. This led him to focus on food as a way to address climate change and sustainability. Luke initially started a startup competition for homemade plant-based food, but soon realized the need for broader options. This led him to discover alternative proteins as a solution to cater to a wider market.
