Microbial Futures

How does our food look in the future when meat and animal-derived ingredients are replaced by sustainable alternatives? In this talk, Christian gives insight to how microbes can be used to upcycle waste, e.g. the left over from beer production, and produce the proteins that we now obtain from animals - and how these can turn into sustainable foods that comes without compromising taste and texture.

nmark has a wide variety of beautiful habitats, and each of these habitats has thousands of different bacteria playing an important role in our environment. While we can't see them with our eyes, we can see them through their DNA, which reveals their diversity and their importance to processes like greenhouse gas cycling. But what effect does the 60% of agricultural land use have on these microbes? And what can we do to help microbial biodiversity?
