Future Food Revolution

Future Food is how we sustainably feed our global population without compromising our environment, ethical values, and health. Our current food system is fundamentally flawed—marked by destructiveness, cruelty, injustice, and adverse health impacts. A number of incredibly exciting and vastly more efficient technologies mean that we can and must transition to an alternative system that addresses and rectifies these pressing issues.

Precision Fermentation

Using microorganisms in an age-long process to produce specific proteins

Cultivated Meat

Identical to the meat we’re used to but grown without the animal.

Biomass Fermentation

Making food out of naturally occurring, protein-dense, fast-growing organisms like algae of fungi

Air Protein

Producing proteins with nothing but microbes, CO2, nitrogen and oxygen.


What are the benefits?


Annually we raise and slaughter around 100 billion land animals and between 2 and 3 trillion marine animals. This has a big impact on our planet and environment:

  • It’s responsible for 15%-24% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
  • It’s the main driver of deforestation, biodiversity loss, desertification, eutrophication and ocean dead zones.
  • It’s the biggest consumer of water, land, and antibiotics.
  • It’s the main cause of zoonotic diseases.

Precision fermentation produces the same products at a fraction of the impact and soon at a fraction of the cost:

Up to 94%
less water
Up to 76%
less GHG
Up to 80%
less land
100%
less antibiotics, hormones and animal suffering
