The protein challenge
Did you know that according to global population predictions, there will be 10 billion people living on this planet by 2060? Ten billion people who will all need protein to thrive. Currently our largest protein source is meat from livestock. But the livestock industry is responsible for 14.5% of greenhouse gas emissions and occupies 80% of agricultural land.
Global protein demand hit 202 million tonnes in 2018. It’s projected to double by 2050, as both incomes and populations rise. To meet growing protein demand while cutting carbon emissions and saving land and water, we need to develop new additional sources of protein.
