What if the proteins on your plate could be produced without farmland, livestock, or a major environmental footprint? Microbial proteins, produced by the fermentation of microorganisms, offer a promising solution to feed a growing population while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and land use. In this lecture, we will discuss how microbes can convert sugars, agricultural waste and even CO₂ into nutritious proteins, the technologies behind these processes and the social implications.
