Researchers believe global malnutrition could be eradicated through agriculture
The production of these products of the future maychange the way food systems function. They can be grown on a large scale or modularly: this option is suitable for both urban conditions and for isolated communities, for example, on remote islands. These products can be produced locally, reducing reliance on global supply chains.
In their work researchersanalyzed about 500 scientific papers on various systems for the production of future food products. The most promising are microalgae photobioreactors; these are devices that use a light source to grow microorganisms, as well as greenhouses for breeding insects. They reduce environmental impact because they form a closed ecosystem.
In the report, the author claims that it is dangerousrely on food produced through traditional farming systems, as they are at risk of serious disruptions due to various factors beyond human control. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted this vulnerability: Government-imposed travel restrictions have disrupted food production and supply chains around the world.
Advances in technology provide us with exciting opportunitiesopportunities to create alternative food supply systems that are more resilient to risk and can efficiently feed billions of people.
