Wageningen University & Research and UC Davis have joined forces with FoodShot Global’s collaborative investment platform that is working to catalyze innovation for a healthier, more sustainable, more equitable food system. Lisette de Jong interviewed two representatives from the institutions to hear what they think about FoodShot’s latest focus area: Precision Protein.
So you’ve got your leafy vegetables and hearty legumes down pat. But if you haven't already, there’s another kind of green you might consider adding to your diet: algae. Yes, the slimy stuff that grows in bodies of water is remarkably edible – and nutritious.
Algae has arrived. For many years, this emerald jewel of nutrition has been lauded for its robust nutrient profile and its planetary promise of sustainability. It has been the focus of multibillion-dollar companies seeking to harness its power as an alternative fuel source.
Food is a fundamental human right. The pangs of hunger do not discriminate based on race, gender or faith. However, millions of people are unequally vulnerable to food insecurity because of systemic prejudices engrained in the world’s food supply systems.
As part of our effort to collectively work towards a healthier, more sustainable, and more equitable food system, we put forward a new framework that looks at protein systemically and with heightened rigor in order to build a protein system that is more precisely attuned to human and planetary health, better aligns global and regional supply and demand, increases accessibility, and decreases waste and environmental damage. We call this new framework “Precision Protein.”
Seaweed is well established as a source of thickeners and emulsifiers such as carrageenan and agar and has carved out a small segment of the healthy snacks aisle, but it could also give rivals a serious run for their money as a source of plant-based protein, says Berkeley-CA-based startup Trophic.
Application Period Open Through May 29; Calls on Companies of All Stages Solving Protein Challenges from Plant-Based to Regenerative Ag to Apply for Funding
Seaweeds such as kelp offer climate-friendly solutions for animal nutrition, among other applications, according to a new multinational research project. In the field of animal nutrition, seaweeds offer great potential to replace soybeans and soy oil, according to a report from SINTEF.
For Victor Friedberg of FoodShot, the debate around how consumers can increase their consumption of protein is not a case of good vs evil.
