Plants: Questions for the Future
By Henk Hoogenkamp - Author & Protein Technology Expert
The global population mainly relies on animals to convert plants into dairy milk, eggs, and meat. In the future, a smarter approach will prevail, with meat made from plants, or milk and egg albumen protein produced via precision fermentation. These emerging technologies are expected to ultimately transform the global food system, offering significant environmental, ecological, and health advantages: no hormones, no steroids, fewer pathogens and antibiotics, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, preserved water resources, and decreased land use.
