According to the UN Food & Agricultural Organisation, the world is likely to need another 70% more food to feed a population of almost 11 billion people by 2050. Today, food production accounts for a third of all greenhouse gas emission, and it is an imperative to also minimise the environmental impact of food production to close the gap to meet the demand for food in less than 30 years in a sustainable way.

Also, the world will need food, which is both sufficient in quantity, but also healthy and affordable. Plant-based foods will play a key role, but fertile farmland and clean water supplies are insufficient to provide for a transition to a plant-based diet as the only solution. 

Protein is at the heart of the issue. To close the gap, we need far more healthy and affordable protein and to achieve this, we need new kinds of protein. So, how will we close the gap?
