?? This paper is a must-read for everyone, but especially food industry professionals. The environmental and health impacts of animal agriculture can be mitigated through a shift towards plant-focused diets. Food innovation, such as plant-based food processing technologies, precision fermentation and cell agriculture, offer promising alternatives to animal products. However, public funding for these novel technologies lags significantly behind that allocated for animal products, with ratios of 1,200 in the EU and 800 in the US. Moreover, lobbying activities for innovation in animal products are 3 (EU) and 190 (US) higher. Private companies currently lead research efforts to enhance animal product substitutes, with public funds only recently beginning to support such endeavours. A pivotal shift in #foodpolicy is imperative to foster research in sustainable alternatives, thereby reducing the environmental and health burden of the current food system. Most importantly, it's past time we stop inflicting unnecessary suffering on trillions of sentient beings every year. ??

?? New Research Paper Published! ?? Together with Dr. Sarah Kühl, Alina Sch?fer, and Christian Kircher, we published the results of our latest study in the journal Future Foods: "Beyond the Cow: Consumer Perceptions and Information Impact on Acceptance of Precision Fermentation-produced Cheese in Germany". We shed light on consumer acceptance of cheese produced through precision fermentation and factors influencing the acceptance: ? High Willingness: A significant portion of consumers in Germany are generally willing to try and purchase cheese made from precision fermentation. ?? Influencing Factors: Positive Perception: Acceptance is most positively influenced by consistent food quality of PF cheese and animal welfare advantages. Challenges: Concerns were raised about the risk of farmers losing their income sources and the potential market power of large corporations, which had the most substantial impact on reducing acceptance. ?? Study Details: Based on a representative online survey with 2,035 participants. Analyzed the effects of various informational aspects on the acceptance of PF cheese.

"Until very recently, the main bottleneck for methane reduction was primarily around the need for technologies and solutions. While this is still important, we've made great progress here – so much so that now, we must bring our attention to creating market demand and business infrastructure for these solutions," -Linda Midgley, Senior Vice President for Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health Sustainability. "Two misperceptions that were debunked this week at Animal AgTech Innovation Summit are 1) That methane reduction is a zero-sum game, and 2) That it creates a burden for farmers. With the right business models and collaborative action, we can bring research and pilots to scale, driving value across the food system and enabling the sustainable choice to become the most attractive option for farmers as well." The Animal AgTech Innovation Summit underscored the critical importance of industry collaboration in maximizing environmental impact through methane reduction. This collective action is not only important but necessary for our future sustainability.

The insect-farming sector has already?attracted over 1,5 billion EUR to date, and given the current growth rate?it will?employ over 30,000 people by 2030 (see below for more data).? ? ??IPIFF (International Platform of Insects for Food and Feed)'s recently updated "Overview of the European insect feed market" provides valuable data into market dynamics such as key economic figures, the?most promising sub-segments of the insect-farming sector, as well as production forecasts for the years to come. ??As an industry-led association, IPIFF's mission is to work with our members towards balanced policies that resonate with the EU's strategic agriculture frameworks, such as?the Farm to Fork?Strategy and the EU Protein Plan.? ?

Great to hear Dr. Elias Uddin (Assistant Prof at the University of Connecticut) talking about the feed additives and their effect on reducing carbon footprint of dairy cattle production in the US. Our ability to measure gasoeus emissions from a large number of animals in our trial using GreenFeed from C-Lock Inc. is a significant advancement in this field. However, measuring enteric emissions from individual animals has some limitations when assessing the overall environmental impact of farming systems as it does not represent whole farm emissions. We need to kick off more studies using LCA for the precise evaluation of farm sustainability. #MethaneEmissions #FeedAdditive #FarmSustainability #LCA

I'm thrilled to announce the publication of my latest paper: "Examining the Potential of Cultured Meat: Technological Advancements, Sustainability Prospects, and Challenges" In this review paper, Dr. Ali Motamedzadegan and I discuss how cultured meat might be a better, more ethical, and less harmful alternative to conventional livestock farming that could help solve the world's food security problems. Highlights: ?? Cultured meat has a far smaller environmental footprint than conventional meat, according to life cycle analysis.? ? New developments in scaffold technology, tissue engineering, and bioreactor design are speeding up the commercialization of cultured meat.? ? However, there are still obstacles to overcome, such as finding cost-effective ways to scale up production, understanding regulatory frameworks, making sure the product is safe, and getting consumers to accept it. To fully realize the potential of cultured meat to enhance food security, nutrition, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare, we propose an interdisciplinary approach that takes into account scientific, technical, legal, and social factors.
