This is not the latest news (dated 3/12/2024)! However, it is important!
Subtract the climate change nonsense, you still have the enormous challenge of feeding currently 8 billion humans on this planet. Traditional agriculture may not be able to deliver in a sustainable way.
"... Bezos Earth Fund ... announced an initial $60 million commitment to establish Bezos Centers for Sustainable Protein as part of the Bezos Earth Fund’s $1 billion commitment to food transformation. ...
The Centers will target major technological barriers to reducing cost, increasing quality, and boosting nutritional benefit of alternative proteins by advancing science and technology. To date, challenges in biomanufacturing – the production, at scale, of sustainable protein products, whether plant based, fermented, or cultivated – are resulting in high costs and limited quality. There are also enormous opportunities to enhance the texture and boost flavor through innovation in cell biology and engineering.
“We need to feed 10 billion people with healthy, sustainable food throughout this century while protecting our planet. ...
This announcement builds on the Bezos Earth Fund’s $1 billion commitment to support farmers and expand food production in a sustainable manner. Work includes reducing methane from livestock and innovating in pasture management to help take pressure off forested land. The Earth Fund is also working with inventors, researchers, and entrepreneurs to improve the resilience and carbon absorption of major food crops.
Food is the second largest cause of climate change, and agriculture is the primary driver of deforestation and biodiversity loss. ..."
