Regulatory Update: China Opens Doors for Precision-Fermented Proteins China’s National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment (CFSA) has released new guidelines for genetically modified #microorganisms (GMMs) in #food, expanding beyond “food additives” to include new food #ingredients, #additives, and food-related products. This development streamlines the path for #alternativeproteins and ingredients to enter China’s market, promoting protein diversification and reducing reliance on imported meat and feed. At Sestante Capital we’re excited to see China’s progress in fostering sustainable, innovative food systems. #AlternativeProteins #FoodInnovation #PrecisionFermentation #ChinaRegulations #SustainableIngredients #scfoodinnovationfund #sustainableinvesting #impactinvesting

🌍 Today is World Food Day, a stark reminder that despite our planet’s ability to produce enough food for everyone, 757 million people still suffer from chronic #hunger globally. This isn't just about scarcity—it's about #resource #mismanagement. Every year, vast amounts of food resources are diverted to feed livestock rather than people, contributing to a system that leaves over 1 billion people food-insecure. At Sestante Capital we are committed to impact investing, championing sustainable #food #systems that prioritize feeding people and minimizing #waste. As we rethink how we manage our resources, we must aim to create a future where #foodsecurity is a reality for all. Let’s work together to reshape our food systems and ensure no one is left behind. 🌱 #WorldFoodDay #Sustainability #Sustainableinvestinf #ImpactInvesting #ZeroHunger #FoodSecurity #scfoodinnovationfund Article by World Food Programme
