  • 🎉 Congratulations to PFA fellow member Onego Bio Protein for entering an exciting new phase of innovation! 💫 As climate change and animal-borne diseases like bird flu challenge global food security, finding sustainable protein solutions is crucial. As Maija Itkonen, CEO of Onego Bio, highlights, “Eggs are one of the world’s most used animal proteins, but the current egg production system is not sustainable.” Enter precision fermentation—a game-changing technology that produces bio-identical egg white protein with a 90% lower environmental impact. 🥚🌱 This breakthrough not only supports a more stable supply chain but also enhances sustainability in our food systems. With precision fermentation, we’re looking at a future with more sustainable, high-quality protein ingredients. Here’s to a promising future in protein innovation! 🚀 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gkY975T6 #PrecisionFermentation #SustainableFood #Innovation #FoodTech #ProteinRevolution

    Protein entering a new phase of innovation 💫 As climate change and animal-borne diseases, like bird-flu, are threatening global food security, it's necessary to find ways to satisfy the hunger for proteins. "Eggs are one of the world’s most used animal proteins. As an ingredient, they assist with binding, thickening, leavening, emulsifying, and more; however, the current egg production system is not sustainable" - Maija Itkonen, CEO of Onego Bio. Luckily, there's an alternative with precision fermentation. 🥚🌱 With this technology, we produce bio-identical egg white protein to create the foods we know and love, with a 90% lower environmental impact and promoting a more stable supply chain. #PrecisionFermentation holds immense potential for creating sustainable, high-quality protein ingredients. By optimizing microbial fermentation processes, it's possible to produce tailored proteins with specific functional and nutritional attributes. Precision fermentation has the power to revolutionize both plant- and animal-derived protein production, and in that regard, the future looks promising.

    Everyone knows what eating healthy means. So, why don't they? Are food documentaries wasting their time educating folks on the health and climate impact of food because we know people make food choices with their taste buds, not their brains? I find such simplistic arguments to be fundamentally flawed. Food is one of the most complex subjects. So much is wrapped into what we eat. Food is nutrition, enjoyment, culture, relationships, and status. Food is not a paint-by-number exercise. We change what we eat all the time. We listen to influencers and doctors and follow trends. Diets go in and out of fashion (Atkins vs Low Fat). Individual nutrients get villainized (fat/sugar) or put on a pedestal (protein). Our understanding of nutrition evolves (are eggs good for you?). Food policies and government subsidies create megatrends. Food scientists continue to throw irresistible foods in front of us (Lays, “I bet you can’t eat just one”). Human behavior is highly complex and dynamic, and so are our food choices. These choices are frequent, varied and context-dependent. Some of them are influenced by INFORMATION – whether it’s a documentary on the horrors of commercial fishing, the health benefits of a plant-based diet, the number on a scale, or your latest bloodwork. Some of them are influenced by CONTEXT – are you at home making a morning smoothie, or are you at a pub at the end of a stressful day staring at pizza? Some of them are influenced by TASTE – millions of years of evolution drive us to like fat, salt and sugar, and feast on high-calorie foods, because our brains have not evolved with the age of abundance. I’m sorry, but the tastiest bean bowl does not stand a chance against chocolate cake. It’s not a fair fight. Some of them are influenced by CULTURE and STATUS – what you eat says a lot about who you are. Our food telegraphs our culture, beliefs and our social standing. This is why dietary change is the third rail of politics. This is why celebrities, chefs and cooking shows help shape our food culture. If we want any hope of shifting our food towards healthy, sustainable and socially conscious choices, we must embrace this complexity. It’s not either/or. It’s both/and. We need documentaries, delicious recipes, foods that “hit the spot”, chefs who inspire, healthy foods that taste good, options that are available and affordable, etc. #food #health #nutrition #sustainability #innovation https://lnkd.in/eYpw6r5q

  • A recent article from The Atlantic proposed increasing cheese consumption to offset the environmental impact of meat. While cheese is a beloved staple, it’s also the third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions among food products. We’re thrilled to echo New Culture’s approach in offering a more sustainable solution. Their animal-free dairy cheese replicates the taste, texture, stretch, and browning of traditional cheese while significantly reducing its environmental footprint. 🧀✨ Here’s to supporting innovations that lead us to a greener future! #Sustainability #PrecisionFermentation #AnimalFreeCheese #ClimateAction #NewCulture #FutureOfFood https://lnkd.in/gGcrcw-r

    A recent article from The Atlantic caught our eye: to reduce the environmental impact of meat consumption, it says, we should increase cheese consumption instead. As much as we at New Culture love cheese, we also know that it’s the third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions of all food products. So while tasty, encouraging consumers to eat more cheese isn’t the most reasonable climate solution. Fortunately, the animal-free dairy cheese we make at New Culture does offer a sustainable solution. It’s something we pride ourselves on. We are able to replicate the taste, texture, stretch, and browning of traditional cheese while having a dramatically lighter environmental footprint. Let’s embrace this change for a truly sustainable future. Check out the full article here: https://hubs.la/Q02Ksp2K0
