The Future of Protein Production

Producing protein-based food sustainably poses a significant challenge in an era where the demand for animal-sourced proteins is projected to increase substantially. The current agricultural practices heavily contribute to global emissions and consume extensive land resources, with animal agriculture responsible for a substantial portion of this impact. To address these concerns, alternative proteins, including plant-based products and cultivated meat, are presented as viable solutions. Establishing methods such as fermentation or using microalgae can provide sustainable protein sources that could help meet the needs of a growing global population without further damaging the environment.
