The future of food goes beyond plants and animals. We’re already seeing single-cell microorganisms being used as ingredients in familiar foods. We’ll take a look at the technology rapidly changing our food systems and setting the planet up for a post-agricultural era.
Key Takeaways:
- Microbes are the new cows: Engineered microorganisms can create meat, milk, and eggs with less land, no cruelty, and radically reduced emissions.
- Farming may become impossible: Climate instability could collapse traditional agriculture—new systems must be planet-independent.
- Familiar ≠ natural: Today’s “real food” is already man-made. What’s unfamiliar now could be the norm tomorrow.
- You can make food out of air: With hydrogen-fed fermentation, companies are producing high-quality protein with zero arable land.
