Jeff Bezos is pumping money into revamping alternative proteins. His Bezos Earth Fund will spend $100 million to open Bezos Centers for Sustainable Protein around the world. They’ll conduct research on precision fermentation, cultivated meat and plant-based alternatives in a bid to create meat- and dairy-free options for the growing global population. One such hub was opened this week at Imperial College London to advance research, including into bioprocessing and automation, nutrition, AI and machine learning. It follows an announcement of a center at North Carolina State University last month. The fund has a total $1 billion to give away to tackle food’s climate impact, and the need to find alternative protein sources to meat has been singled out as paramount to helping the planet. Livestock is estimated to contribute roughly 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, is a huge drag on land and water resources and damages biodiversity. “We are not turning everybody into vegetarians, but we are trying to improve the choice and the health and the vitality of the agricultural system,” Andrew Steer, president and CEO of the Bezos Earth Fund, said at the London launch event on Monday. The goal is to cut alternative protein costs, improve the taste of products and create something that’s less environmentally harmful, he said. The alternative protein industry needs help. Cultivated meat has been struggling to scale up, a problem compounded by diminished venture-capital investment into the sector. Sales of plant-based meat substitutes have been hit by food inflation, unsatisfactory taste and concerns over nutrition. Just this week, a top McDonald’s executive reiterated that the company’s previous US test of McPlant burger didn’t work out and added that the chain’s diners don’t go to its restaurants for plant-based proteins (Source: Bloomberg, 28-Jun-2024).

By 2050, global food systems will need to sustainably and nutritiously feed more than 9 billion people while providing economic opportunities in both rural and urban communities. Yet our food systems are falling far short of these goals. A systemic transformation is needed at an unprecedented speed and scale. At the same time, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is driving disruptive technology innovations across many sectors. Agriculture and food systems have been slow to benefit from these developments – the sector lags significantly behind in harnessing the power of technology and making it widely accessible.

Researchers at NUS use sugar cubes to build rye scaffolds for cultivated meat As the world tries to find sustainable solutions for food production, cultivated meat is catching the attention of researchers and consumers alike. The National University of Singapore (NUS) is overcoming one of the biggest hurdles in lab-grown meat production with ally-sugar cubes. Cultured meat could become more affordable, sustainable, and cost-effective if edible scaffolds are developed. ** https://lnkd.in/dkz-rJkd **

𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗞𝗮𝗲𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻'𝘀 "𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗵" 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝘁. Vanessa Rein. The global fish demand has doubled in 50 years, raising environmental concerns. Addressing this, cellular agriculture, exemplified by the "Clean Fish" project at Kaesler Nutrition GmbH, offers an innovative solution. My thesis compared Kaesler's development of nutrient broth to feed the growing fish cells with conventional methods, using key indicators like "Climate Change" and "Cumulative Energy Demand." 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: - Replacing the incubator with a large bioreactor alone could improve the results by over 90 %. - Beyond examined indicators, numerous other relevant environmental impact categories exist, such as biodiversity, which will play an increasingly crucial role due to issues like overfishing. The findings suggest the possibility of substantial enhancements in sustainability. Therefore, I aspire for my thesis and recommendations to play a role in enhancing the sustainability of future production, fostering a move towards cruelty-free food production.
