In order to provide sufficient nutrition for 10 billion people while signicantly reducing
emissions from
agriculture production and land-use, we urgently need to innovate across protein sectors -
including livestock,
aquaculture/fisheries, agriculture proteins, and novel proteins (algae, fungi, bacteria,
insects, etc.) - to
produce high quality, affordable and sustainable nutrition for our health and the environment.
There is no time,
either for the health of people or the planet, to be imprecise with our approach to protein, a
macronutrient that
is the most resource-intensive and consequential to the environment and climate change.
The precision Protein FoodShot looks at proteins, peptides and amino acids systematically and
with heightened
rigor in order to build a protein system that is more precisely attuned to human and planetary
health, better aligns
global and regional supply and demand, increases accessibility, and decreases waste and
environmental damage.
