Hi ,
|
Agriculture is now recognized as a significant driver of climate change. Current food production methods are unsustainable and likely to increase as our global population climbs to 10 billion by 2050. Agriculture must become greener, more innovative, and bountiful to feed more people on an already straining planet. Biotechnology is already boosting crop yields, but more dramatic innovation is still needed.
Synthetic biology is already improving soil health and nutrients, dramatically reducing the need for harmful fertilizers. Innovations like gene editing create crops that can better adapt to changing conditions like heat waves, drought, and pests. Crops aren’t the only food in need of innovation. Cultured meat and precision fermentation offer significantly more sustainable alternatives to animal protein farming. This is only the beginning of why synbio might enable our food future.
This track digest is brought to you by Ayana Bio, a company that produces and discovers plant and fungal bioactives for a healthier, more sustainable world. Check out their Lunch & Learn at SynBioBeta 2024 on "Harnessing Synthetic Biology to Increase Nutrient Density."
